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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
