The man, described as about 5-feet and 6-inches tall and 160 pounds with short hair and a dark moustache, entered the 7-Eleven located at 4208 59th St. W., Bradenton, at about 10:40 p.m. He was carrying a revolver, according to a release.

He pointed the gun at the store clerk and said, "Give me all your money or I'll shoot," deputies said. The clerk gave him money from the register.
