Author: MOBILE, Alabama — Mobile police have released the descriptions of 4 men they say were involved with two commercial robberies in which 2 store clerks were shot, officials said today in a news release.
About 9:10 p.m. Friday, two men walked into a gas station in the 500 block of Azalea Road, police said. One of the robbers, armed with a handgun, demanded that the cashier open the door leading to the cash register, police said. When the cashier refused, the robber fired three shots, one of them striking the victim in the right arm. The robbers fled, police said.
The first robber is described as a black male, about 6 feet tall, weighing between 150-160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, blue jean pants and black shoes.
