Police said an employee at the business, Hamzeh Abushariah, 33, was in a back room when the juvenile and two others broke in and began taking money and items. Abushariah grabbed a gun and shot at the suspects multiple times, including as they tried to get away, according to the statement.

The other two suspects accused of breaking into the business have not been found.
