BLAIRSVILLE —
State police say two unknown suspects fired at least two shots during an adult bookstore robbery in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Troopers from the Indiana barracks say two men wearing dark hooded sweat shirts and masks burst into the Adult World store on U.S. Route 22 near Blairsville about 1:10 a.m. Tuesday.
Police say one of the robbers fired a gun into the ceiling and demanded money, while the other carried a large butcher knife.
The gunman grabbed a handful of cash from the register then fired another shot toward one of two clerks in the store – a 27-year-old woman – as the robbers ran away.
Nobody was wounded. The other victim in the store was a 23-year-old male clerk.
Trooper John Matchik, the barracks spokesman, says there were no customers in the store.
