A jewelry store employee in Brooklyn was shot when a man opened fire inside the business.

The 24-year-old worker at A&M Jewelry in Sunset Park was grazed in the torso in the incident just before 2 p.m. Sunday, WABC-TV reports. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

The New York Post reports that the gunman, who was wearing a mask, “began firing as he stood in the open doorway demanding money.” (News 12 reports that the suspect “demanded diamonds.”)

But the suspect left without taking anything and remains at large.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
