Two suspects entered the store with their faces covered and handed the cashier a note demanding money from the register. According to a release from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, a firearm was implied but not witnessed by the store employee.

Sheriff deputies and a K9 unit searched the immediate area but were unsuccessful in locating the suspects.

The incident remains under investigation by deputies with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau who are reviewing video surveillance from the area to identify the suspects.
