Shots fired in Macon armed robbery on Gray Highway

A gunman fired two shots early Tuesday as he held up the Quick Serve at 1105 Gray Highway.

Just after 3:30 a.m., a black man dressed in a camouflage jacket and pants, with a blue mask on his face, forced an employee to lie on the floor at the back of the store, according to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.

The robber pointed a gun at the clerk behind the counter and demanded money.

After being handed the cash drawer, the gunman made the clerk lie down next to the other employee at the rear of the store.

Although the two shots fired inside the store did not hit anyone, one of the workers was cut on his arm with a box cutter during the holdup, according to an incident report from the sheriff's office.

The gunman fled in a SUV with more than $1,000, the report said.

Anyone with information is urged to call for an investigator at the Bibb County Sheriff's Office at 751-7500 or phone anonymous tips to Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 877-68-CRIME.
