TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- The Tallahassee Police Department was on-scene investigating an alleged attempted armed robbery at a convenience store in the 1000 block of Old Bainbridge Road.

A clerk inside the store who answered the phone, told WCTV that a man came into the Time Saver Convenience Store with a gun and attempted to rob it. Then another clerk shot at the man before he fled from the scene. It is not known if the suspect was hit.
