An incident report said the gunman forced the clerk onto the ground, grabbed the cash and put it in a purple bag before fleeing.

Security consultant Michael D'Angelo said the clerk did the right thing by just complying.
"Give them what they want, stay calm as best you can. I know that sounds ridiculous 'cause how do you stay calm when someone is holding a gun to your head?" D'Angelo said. "But remember, comply with everything they’re asking for and realize the sooner you do this the likelihood this is going to be over really quick."
A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in the robbery. Anyone with information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
