SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Police are searching for two armed, wig-wearing robbers who shot one clerk and targeted two businesses Thursday night.

Police say a man and a woman robbed the Petro Stop gas station on Ackerman Road at 9:30 p.m. Lt. Scott Bell said the woman was armed with a semi-automatic pistol and the man had a revolver, which he had put on the counter during the robbery and at some point shot the 35-year-old Keisha Nelson in the stomach. She was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center and her injury appeared to be non-life threatening, he said. No other customers or employees were injured.

The man and woman were wearing reddish-brown wigs and appeared to be linked to a robbery at Church's Chicken on S. Zarzamora at 7:45 p.m., Lt. Bell said. No one was injured in that crime, but he said a shot was fired at that location.

Lt. Bell said the man was an African American male, 6'3" with a medium build. The female suspect is also African American, 5'3" and heavyset.

Investigators released a "possible" vehicle description, which was a grey or pewter 4-door car with black side mirrors and chrome wheels with large spokes. If you have any information about the suspects or the crimes, call San Antonio Police.

I hope they repo the rims for lack of payment. The poor cashier didn't need to be shot.

And this is the order of things for us all if the Democrats have their way: the criminals will be armed and the rest of us will be disarmed. Hey, but we can rely on the cops to protect us. Just like these two work-a-day-joes were able to.
