DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. —
DeKalb County police say they are searching for at least one person who opened fire during a robbery inside a CVS Pharmacy Thursday.
The incident happened at the location on 2586 Lawrenceville Highway near Frazier Road in Decatur around 9:15 a.m.
According to police spokesperson Mekka Parish, one of the men fired shots inside the pharmacy. One customer was shot in the hand.
Witnesses say an 18-year-old cashier was held up and had a gun shoved in her face. She hugged her mom and then told Channel 2’s Rikki Klaus about her terrifying experience.
“I was ringing up a customer, and then all I saw was a red mask and a gun pointed in my face, telling me to empty out the drawer,” said cashier Briana Sanders. “And then while him – the first suspect did that – he went to the back, and then suspect number two stayed in the front and made sure I emptied out the drawers, they got a pretty good amount of cash.”
Officers are currently searching for the suspects. Some officers had to rush over to a second robbery at a Dollar General in Clarkston. Investigators think it was the same two men.
