An employee at the store said that the suspect walked in and headed to the cash register. The employee said that the suspect was armed with a gun and was waving for the employee to come to the register, according to an incident report filed by the Springfield Police Division.
The employee reported that he picked up his handgun that was sitting on a stool next to him and fired three shots at the suspect, and that the suspect took off running as the shots were fired.
The employee said he then proceeded to call 911 and lock up the store.
