Baton Rouge police arrested a 15-year-old boy Thursday for allegedly shooting three people during an armed robbery of the Rite Aid at 5840 Plank Road.
The boy, whose name was not released, shot two Rite Aid employees and a customer about 9 p.m. Thursday, said police spokesman Sgt. Don Kelly.
The boy also shot at another person during the incident but missed, Kelly said.
The employees who were hit are a 35-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man, Kelly said. The customer is a 41-year-old man.
All three victims were taken to LSU Earl K. Long Medical Center for treatment of gunshot wounds, Kelly said. They all are expected to survive.
The boy, who took cash from the store, was detained shortly after the incident in the 4300 block of Denham Street, Kelly said. He was carrying items that linked him to the crime scene.
Police placed the boy into Juvenile Detention on one count of armed robbery and four counts of attempted first-degree murder, Kelly said.
Cheryl Slavinsky, a Rite Aid spokeswoman, said store technology was helpful in capturing the boy. However, she said, she could not say what kind of technology it was.
Slavinsky also said she could not talk about what kind of security measures the store, which was closed Friday, has in place.
