Raleigh, N.C. — A robber shot a female clerk at a check-cashing business in the 4000 block of Wake Forest Road Wednesday night, police said.
Officers responded to calls about an armed robbery in progress at Mexico Lindo around 8:30 p.m.
Witnesses told police that a man dressed in green camouflage entered the business. A mask covered the lower half of his face, and he carried a handgun.

Fernandez-Lucas was taken to WakeMed, where she was listed in fair condition Thursday morning. Officials said her injuries were non-life-threatening.
Police said they were reviewing surveillance video from the store.
