After entering the store to purchase an item, the suspect told the employee that he had forgotten his wallet and would go get it. He then returned a short time later and approached the counter saying he had his wallet. There was no one else in the store at that time, and the suspect pulled down a Plexiglas sheet separating him from the employee and presented a firearm described as an Uzi. The suspect then pointed the firearm at the employee and demanded that he hand over the cash in the register or else he would kill him. The employee stated he took approximately $150-$250 in cash from the register and handed the money to the suspect, who then ran out the door. A search of the area did not locate the suspect.
