Investigators with the Houston Police Department said it happened on Sunday, January 26 a little after 5 p.m. at the Metro PCS store on Cullen Boulevard off 610 near Bellfort Avenue.
Two young men, armed and wearing jackets (one black and one yellow) only the former was seen not covering his face and holding an employee at gunpoint.
The two men demanded money and cell phones, with the yellow jacket-wearing gunman heard on the video telling the employee, “Empty out those f***ing pockets.”
At some point during the incident, the gunman in the yellow jacket shot one of the employees several times but wasn’t hurt.
But when another tried to run out through the front door, the gunman fired again several times and hit another employee. His identity and condition since then have not been disclosed, as of this writing.
The robbers, meanwhile, took off before cops arrived and remain at large.
