The robbery attempt was reported around 3:45 p.m. at the Food Center store, located at 1150 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, according to Lt. Andre Matthews. A masked gunman entered the store, demanding cash from an employee, Matthews said. Meanwhile, another employee who was standing in another part of the store observed the gunman. That clerk armed himself with a handgun and fired one shot. The robber, who wasn’t hit, fled the scene on foot. Officers Krista Stokes and James Lodwick arrived at the scene shortly after the robbery attempt and interviewed employees. By late Wednesday, police hadn’t arrested the robber. Matthews said no one at the store was injured during the incident"
