2 suspects wanted in shooting of Birmingham Dollar General worker during holdup
Authorities are asking for the public’s help identifying two suspects in the shooting of a Birmingham store clerk during a holdup.
The shooting happened just before 9 p.m. Thursday at Dollar General at 2314 Warrior Road in Five Points West.
According to police communications, the male employee sustained a gunshot wound to the torso. Initially his injuries were thought to be life-threatening, but Officer De’Rell Freeman on Saturday said the victim is expected to be OK.
Investigators put down at least a dozen evidence markers.
Police blocked off the immediate area surrounding the store, and also a larger perimeter spanning several blocks.
Freeman said the two male suspects entered the store and took about $600 in cash. They fled the store after shooting the employee.
Anyone with information is asked to call robbery detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
