A gas station attendant was killed, and another was wounded when a gunman opened fire in a Bronx gas station Thursday night, The NY Post reported.
The 35-year-old store employee confronted the gunman after he took a candy bar from the station's snack shop and a struggled ensued.
The store, located at 1950 Barstow Ave. in Baychester, just off the New England Thruway, was manned by two employees at the time. Police speculate the shooter may have tried to rob the store though the cash register was never opened during the incident.
During the struggle, the gunman fired several shots, hitting the attendant three times in his leg and hitting the other employee in the arm and lower torso.
One of the bullets punctured a major artery, and the clerk died at Jacobi Medical Center. The second employee, 32, was also transported to Jacobi and is in stable condition, ABC Local reported.
Police say the suspect fled empty-handed, and took off in a white BMW.
This is the man NYPD believes shot two gas station clerks, killing one
