GLENDALE - Police are searching for a man who shot an armored truck employee during a robbery near the entrance of a Walmart in Glendale on Sunday.

Police Sgt. Brent Coombs says the armored truck employee was dropping off and picking up items at the store when he was attacked by a man who was described by witnesses as an adult black male.

The man shot the armored truck employee in the leg and the hand and then fled the scene in a small red sport utility vehicle. Authorities believe he took a black bag from employee but they are not sure what was inside.
