CLEVELAND, Ohio — The owner of a Cleveland grocery store and his 70-year-old employee shot at two armed robbers, forcing the duo out of their store, police reports say.

No one was hurt in the shooting that happened with five young children between the ages of 4 and 14 inside, according to police reports.

The robbery happened about 7 p.m. Thursday at the Paul’s Serve Rite Food Market on Central Avenue and East 46th Street in the city’s Central neighborhood.

The 59-year-old store owner and 70-year-old employee repeatedly told the duo to take off their hoods, police reports say. The two refused, pulled out gun and demanded money from the cash register, according to police reports.

A 46-year-old employee working the register handed the man the cash drawer that had about $80 in it, police reports say.

The 70-year-old employee saw the robbers with guns out and pulled out his gun, police reports say. He fired four shots at the robbers, according to police reports.

The store owner pulled out his gun and fired a shot, police reports say. Both robbers ran out of the store and went different directions, police reports say.
