Three suspects tried to rob two convenience stores in northwest Houston Thursday night, shooting a store clerk and holding another hostage, according to HPD.
Investigators said two of the men went to one convenience store and shot a clerk, taking around $400 while the third suspect was at the other store.
There were two clerks inside at the other store. Police said one locked themself inside a secure area with the register and the other was held at gunpoint by one of the robbers demanding access to that area. "The suspect then shoots numerous times at the bulletproof glass, somewhere between 10 to 15 times. Luckily, doesn't make entry into there," HPD Lt. R. Willkens said."The complainant doesn't get hit, but now he's locked inside the store."
Police said that's when the other two suspects showed up and shot out the windows of the store to get the third man out. All three got into a black car and got away.
