The New York Post reported that gunman, who was wearing a mask, “began firing as he stood in the open doorway demanding money.” (News 12 reported that the suspect “demanded diamonds.”)

A 24-year-old worker was grazed in the torso. He was taken to a local hospital and later released.

The gunman left without taking anything.

Choose the Easy Way to Retire with Wilkerson

After 47 years in business, Jim Saylor, owner of Jim Saylor Jewelers in Kapa’a, Hawaii, knew retiring successfully meant holding a going-out-of-business sale. He also knew he needed help to do it right. He chose Wilkerson. “I’ve heard a lot of different names of companies that do this type of thing,” says Saylor. “Wilkerson’s always seems to be in the forefront.” Saylor says the Wilkerson folks really cared about the success of the sale, making the next phase of his life a lot easier. “I’d recommend Wilkerson to anybody contemplating a change,” he says. “They are true experts.”
