A gas station employee in Cheverly was shot and wounded Wednesday during an armed robbery, police said.
Just before 11 a.m., someone entered the Exxon store in the 5800 block of Landover Road in an apparent attempt to rob it, said Officer Henry Tippett, a spokesman for the Prince George's County police. The robber shot an employee and then fled, Tippett said.
The specifics of what happened remain unclear, and police had no information about the assailant because detectives had not talked to the employee, who sustained wounds that were not thought to be life-threatening, Tippett said. No one else was in the store at the time of the shooting, and detectives are seeking surveillance footage, he said.
