Walker said a lone man had entered the store, produced a firearm, and fled after obtaining money and store merchandise.
“Although extremely shaken, the store clerk was not injured,” Walker said.
The department’s Major Crime Unit is handling that case and is reviewing video footage from the scene to develop a suspect description.
