Robber pulls gun, employee pulls pellet gun

Shots were fired during an aggravated robbery of the McDonald's restaurant at 8969 Fields Ertel Road at 1:22 a.m. Tuesday, July 11.

Three suspects entered the restaurant through an unlocked door. The restaurant manager was then forced at gunpoint to open the safe.

As the manager was opening the safe, a male employee retrieved a pellet gun and pointed it at one of the suspects from across the restaurant.

The suspect fired two rounds at the employee, striking the wall behind him. The suspects then fled the restaurant on foot with an undetermined amount of money, heading south.

A sheriff's canine unit tracked the suspects from the restaurant to Mason Way Court, where the dog lost the scent.

There were no reports of injuries.
