The black male attempted to go behind the counter and produced a black gun (found to be a pellet gun) in an effort to rob the clerk. The clerk fought off the black male who was soon joined by the white male in an effort to overpower the clerk.

As the black male was being chased outside he tripped on the curb and dropped the weapon which the clerk recovered.The males fled across the nearby mall and made their way to the Ogilvie north park where they entered an awaiting vehicle and made good their escape.
