A robber threatened a market clerk in City Heights with a handgun, fired one shot into the floor, and hit the clerk in the shoulder with the gun, the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) said May 13.
At 8 p.m. Sunday, a suspect robbed the Landis Street Market in the 4000 block of Landis Street, SDPD Officer John Buttle said.
The clerk was seated at the cash register when the robber entered the store, Buttle said. He was described as 30 to 40 years old with a thin build and brown hair, and wearing a white and gray hat, tan long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes.
The man told the clerk to open the register and took cash from it, the officer said. The clerk sustained a bruise from being hit with the gun.
Robbery detectives were investigating.
