Employee Shot During Apple Store Robbery

An Apple employee has been shot during a robbery at the Apple Retail Store Clarendon, in Arlington Virginia, according to the Washington Post.

Arlington police say the suspect rang the doorbell at the back service entrance and shot the 25 year old female who opened the door.

The female is in serious but stable condition and her injuries are not considered life threatening.


Customers report hearing what sounded like "boxes falling" in the back storeroom. "An employee went to the back room and then we heard a woman's scream. I didn't wait to find out what happened", said Mike Evans who was in the showroom at the time.

"We are shocked by this senseless act of violence and our thoughts are with this co-worker and her family," said Steve Dowling, a spokesman for Apple. "We're working with police to catch the person who committed this act."

The suspect is described as a black male, between the ages of 35 and 45, with a medium build and facial hair. He was last seen fleeing the area on foot, wearing a light-colored, short sleeve shirt, light-colored long pants and a dark baseball cap. He was carrying a handgun. Security footage of the suspect will be released to aid in his capture.
