MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Two male suspects, armed with a shotgun and rifle, left behind a gun and money after injuring a gas station clerk in a robbery attempt Wednesday morning.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office says it happened at the Quick Serve on Rocky Creek Road around 3 a.m. Two masked men, carrying a rifle and shotgun, reportedly entered the store and demanded money from the clerk and a customer. One suspect stood watch at the door.

Investigators say the suspect with the shotgun fired once into the glass of the booth the store clerk was behind. He climbed over the counter and took money.
