tem # H-24738-23 on 8/27/23 approximately 2:00 am @4701 Canal Street: two B/M subjects entered the Shell Gas Station and attempted to rob the business.  According to the store employee two subjects came in masked, which caused him to request they remove the masks.  The subjects refused with one loitering in the rear of the store and the second eventually attempting to lunge at the employee over the counter.  The employee retrieved a weapon that was under the counter and fired, striking one of the subjects in the hand, and the other fleeing.  The subject that fled fired a weapon he had concealed at the store, striking the building multiple times.  The perpetrator who was shot in the hand was found on scene upon police arrival.  That subject was charged with attempted robbery. The other perpetrator to my knowledge is still at large. 

****It does appear the second perpetrator was identified and is currently wanted (Carl Pittman B/M 11/17/90).****
