DATELINE: LENGTH: Short
The manager of the Wendy's restaurant told police that after closing the business about 1:30 a.m., he returned minutes later to check whether he had locked a safe.
As he left the restaurant for the second time, he was approached by a man dressed in dark clothing and wearing gloves and a mask, he told police. After pointing a small, black handgun at the manager, the robber ordered him back inside.
Once inside, the robber took a deposit bag containing cash, then fled.
In other police reports Thursday:
A 17-year-old boy was charged with shooting into an occupied dwelling after two shots were fired at a man during an argument Wednesday afternoon, narrowly missing him but striking the back door of his home on 15th Street Southwest, police said. The youth was arrested after he returned to the scene while police were investigating.
A man who spotted a teen-age boy riding his stolen bicycle on 11th Street Northwest on Wednesday morning told police that the youth fired a handgun at him when he tried to claim the bicycle. No one was injured.
