Police say two armed men went into the 7-Eleven on the corner of Johnston Road and McMullen Creek Parkway in Pineville around 3:00am Friday and demanded money. The clerk did not resist, but was shot in the arm by one of the suspects as they fled the store. The clerk was taken to CMC and is recovering from his injuries.
Officials say the first suspect was a black male wearing a grey hoodie sweatshirt covering most of his face, red pants, and white gloves.
The second suspect was a male wearing a black long sleeve shirt, white pants, black gloves, and a multicolored (mostly gray) toboggan.
