A man in a ski mask walked into a Frankfort gas station, flashed a handgun—and found himself the target of one in the clerk’s hands.
The suspect entered the Circle K at 7654 U.S. 30 around 3 a.m. Tuesday. The suspect accosted the clerk before raising his gun, and the clerk responded by revealing his own handgun, said Will County Sheriff’s Spokesman Kathy Hoffmeyer. No one was injured and no money was taken. The suspect then fled the scene running.
A search was launched by sheriff’s officers, with the help of Mokena, Frankfort, and Peotone departments and a canine unit. The suspect was not found.
He was last seen near Hunter Woods Drive and Thistlewood Lane. He is described as black, 6 feet tall and 175 pounds, wearing a black ski mask and hoodie.
