A store clerk was stabbed during a robbery at a Rindge convenience store Friday night, police said, before shooting at the two suspects as they fled.The robbery happened just after 9:30 p.m. at the North of the Border convenience store on Route 202.The robbers entered the store with masks, jumped on the counter and attacked the clerk, stabbing him in the abdomen, Rindge police said in a press release. One of the men had a knife, and the other had a gun, police said."He had a single abdominal, I’d say a penetrating wound from what appeared to be a knife and some other injuries to his body said Sgt. Rachel Malynowski, Rindge Police Department. “Admitted that he had just been robbed by two individuals."The clerk fired at the men as they fled, but they made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.“I can confirm that as they were leaving, my clerk fired several rounds in their direction,” said Sgt. Malynowski. “We are still processing that information. I do not have information as to whether or not suspects were hit."The clerk was then taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released.No one else was in the store at the time of the robbery.Investigators are also looking into whether these are the same suspects involved in a recent armed robbery in neighboring Fitzwilliam."The suspects did jump the counter in both cases. Attacked the clerks in both cases said Sgt. Malynowski. “Our clerk was injured there's wasn't, so, I do think that there are some similarities."Authorities searched for the suspects but didn't find them. Anyone with information is asked to call Rindge police at 603-899-5009.
