The manager of the business told police he was approached by a light-colored Hispanic man about 6 feet tall and weight about 180 pounds. The complainant told police the suspect stated "money, money."

The suspect pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at the business' manger. The manager grabbed the weapon and, during the struggle, one shot was fired hitting the manager's pinky on his right hand.

The manager was able to get his own gun out of his desk and hit the suspect in the head with it. The manager never fired a shot at him. The business had 10 other patrons at the time of the incident.

There were no other reported injuries.

The suspect ran out of the business and an armed security guard told him to stop. The security guard told police the suspect shot at him five more times.

The security guard fired 12 shots at the suspect before he got into a white Dodge Neon that was circling the parking lot with its lights off. The vehicle was not displaying license plates and was being driven by a white male with a shaved head and a thick mustache.
