Two men in custody in robbery, shooting

Two men are in custody and police are looking for two more in the Friday armed robbery at Alby’s Convenience Store on Sherwood Forest Boulevard.

Police say three armed men walked into the store at 9 a.m. demanding money.

The robbers bound two store employees, then shot one in the leg and beat the other with a handgun, police spokesman Cpl. L’ Jean McKneely said.

A fourth man drove the getaway car, which is described as a maroon, four-door vehicle with tinted windows.

The robbers fled north on Sherwood Forest.

He was booked into Parish Prison on one count each of attempted first-degree murder and armed robbery.
