One of the employees confronted the robber with the gun and authorities said the employee possibly recognized the robbers. A struggle ensued and the 47-year-old employee was shot several times. He was taken to an area hospital where he was last listed in critical, but stable, condition.
Authorities said other employees followed the robbers when they ran from the store, but stopped pursuing them when they jumped a fence to get into a nearby apartment complex. They didn't get away with any money.
The other suspect was taken into custody Monday and charged with aggravated robbery.
The robbery is still under investigation.
