Store video shows shooting, botched robbery

Police hope images lead to arrests

The video is graphic enough, but it doesn't reveal much about the identities of two hooded robbers who shot a clerk at a Family Dollar store on Tuesday.

The Albuquerque Police Department released the surveillance video from the Dollar Store late Thursday.

Police say even with enhancement, they can't get much more information about the two suspects.

Police hope someone will come forward with new information.

The video shows two men wearing hoodies enter the store on Gibson Boulevard SE east of San Pedro Drive.

Then the robbers rush the 22-year-old clerk demanding cash. The clerk was new to the job and couldn't open the register quick enough.

That's when cops say one of the robbers shot him in the leg.

The video also shows a woman right at the counter as this is all going down. She rushes out.

An APD detective told KRQE News 13 they haven't wrapped up their questioning of her, although she might not remember much because she apparently switched into survival mode as she bolted.

What's incredible is the clerk who was shot in the leg gets up and starts making calls. The clerk is now out of the hospital and is expected to be OK.

Surveillance video from the car wash next door broadcast by News 13 on Wednesday from a nearby car wash shows the two suspects walking by as they head to hold up the store.

APD doesn't know if these guys are tied to any other robberies in the area but does know they are aggressive.
