Ruston Police are searching for an armed suspect responsible for shooting a convenience store clerk during a robbery on Saturday evening. The incident occurred at approximately 8:13 p.m. at the Raceway convenience store located on Farmerville Highway, also known as Louisiana Highway 33, on the northside of Ruston. According to Ruston Police Department Lieutenant Kayla Loyd, the suspect entered the establishment masked and demanded money from the clerk. The suspect then fired a single gunshot, wounding the clerk. Authorities report that the clerk’s injuries are not considered life-threatening. Following the discharge of the firearm, the suspect’s semi-automatic pistol apparently jammed. Surveillance video captures the suspect attempting to rack the slide to clear the malfunction.
