Investigators said an armed, masked suspect walked into Snappy Convenience Store at 115 Southeast 10th Street around 7:40 p.m. Friday with intent to rob the store.

"That suspect came to the store with the intent of robbing it. He was wearing a mask and gloves. Multiple shots were fired. He died in the store," said Gina Carter with BSO.

The clerks were not injured, nor the customer who was inside the store at the time.
