A Citgo employee fired shots at two robbers after they stole beer and cigarettes, according to the Orlando Police Department.

Two men entered the Citgo in the 3600 block of Curry Ford Road shortly before 10 p.m. on Friday and appeared at first to want to purchase the beer and cigarettes, police said.


When the clerk told one of the men he could not sell him the cigarettes because he was underage, the second man went to his vehicle and came back with a small black handgun, investigators said.

The man pointed the gun at the clerk and both men left with the beer without paying, police said.

The clerk followed the men outside with a Glock 27 .40-caliber in his pocket, investigators said.

He told police that one of the men got out of the car and pointed the gun at him before getting back in the dark colored four-door vehicle.

The clerk told investigators he was afraid the man would get back out of his car and shoot him so he "stepped off to the rear right side of the vehicle and fired two shots in the area of the rear right passenger side tire," according to the police report.

The men drove off after that, investigators said.
