WACO (December 3, 2012)—Waco police were looking for two men Monday after a local convenience store clerk was injured in an exchange of gunfire during a robbery.
At around 9:20 p.m. Sunday, two men, one of whom was armed, entered the Snacks convenience store at 2901 North 18th St, police said.
The 48-year-old clerk, whose name wasn’t released, was also armed, however, and he and the robber exchanged gunfire.
Both would-be robbers fled, police said, but the armed man returned to the store and he and the clerk exchanged gunfire for a second time and then began struggling over the weapons.
During the struggle the store clerk was struck several times with a gun in the head and face and suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, police said.
The robber escaped with the clerk’s gun and an undisclosed amount of cash.
Highly unusual case. One of the very few that I have seen where the criminal took the defenders gun.
