It was reported to officers that a white male subject came into the Movie Time Video store around closing time. The male subject was wearing blue jeans and a gray tee shirt, some type of mask around his face and had a black hand gun. The clerk reported to officers that the male subject came into the store and pointed the hand gun at the clerk and told the clerk to go into the office and not to come out until the clerk counted to 200.

Officers are attempting to gather any video from surrounding businesses that may help in this investigation.
