CORPUS CHRISTI - Police are still looking for the man who tried to shoot a clerk at a local dollar store. It happened two weeks ago at the store on Port Avenue near Greenwood. The police department has also posted a surveillance video of the robbery attempt on it's website, in the hope that someone will recognize the suspect.
A clerk inside Family Dollar could have lost her life. Police say the suspect walked up to the counter and paid for several items, but as soon as the register opened he pulled a gun.
