Tallahassee - The man who helped his neighbor after the neighbor was shot by a robber talks to WCTV about what happened.

Tuesday night just before 10:30 in the 700 block of Coble Drive, Tallahassee police say a robber shot 30 year old Jason West in both legs.

Somehow West managed to still get to a neighbors home for help. The neighbor, who did not want to be identified says he was watching a movie when he heard a knock at the door.

He says, "I opened the screen door and asked Mr. West was he OK, what happened. He indicated he had been shot, I returned to the house to grab towels to assist him and at that time he had collapsed."

The neighbor says he talked to West, who is being treated at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, and he says he is in good condition.

At last check, the suspect is still on the loose.
