Jimmy Johns Sub Shop on West Pensacola Street was shot early Thursday morning by a robber dressed in black. According to Tallahassee Police, the employee was taking out the trash at about 3:45 this morning, when a man with a black shirt tied around his face held him up at gunpoint and ordered him back inside the store. A TPD Spokesman says the robber shot the employee in the leg even before he made it inside.
Two other employees were inside at the time too. The robber made off with some money and police are canvassing the area this morning trying to find some surveillance video of him or possibly some discarded items on his getaway path. Police say the employee shot in the leg will be okay, he was treated and released from the hospital.
