Reeve said the suspect, who was wearing a mask and gloves, walked into the Subway restaurant on North Verity Parkway about 10:30 p.m. Friday, jumped the counter near the soda fountain, and showed at least two employees a handgun. Reeve said the employees ran out the back door, then to the front parking lot.
The suspect was last seen running out of the back of the store, Reeve said. He said no shots were fired and there were no injuries. One employee called 911 from a restaurant in the same strip mall, Reeve said.
Detectives have interviewed multiple people in their investigation of the incident as they search for the suspect, he said.
