Police were scrambled to the meat market in San Antonio, Texas, at around 10.30 am on Thursday, April 25.
Cops said a shopper came to Culebra Meat Market 3 in the southwest of the city and tried to buy something with a fake $50 bill.
Staff told the man the money was counterfeit and said they were calling the police and wouldn’t return the bill.
The video shows the shopper and cashier confrontation before the man walks out.
At one point, he tries to snatch the bill out of the cashier’s hand.
San Antonio outlet KENS5 reported that the man told staff: “Watch what’s gonna happen,” then left the store.
He got in his car and then drove toward the store, firing two rounds into the building.
Terrified workers can be heard screaming as footage shows them ducking for cover.
Another angle shows a black vehicle driving slowly past the store as a gun is drawn on the driver’s side before it speeds off.
Authorities said some of the employees were hit with shattered glass from the door after it was struck with bullets.
The gunman is still on the run after fleeing the scene in a black vehicle.
A grab from surveillance footage has been released, showing the suspect entering the store.
He is bald with tattoos, last seen with a cigarette in his mouth, jean shorts, a black t-shirt, a gold chain, and sunglasses entering the store.
None of the staff suffered serious injuries, according to cops.
The police investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to call the San Antonio Police Department to help.
The same meat market was previously robbed at gunpoint less than two years ago.
In August 2022, a man walked into the store with a gun and grabbed the register before fleeing the scene on foot.
Surveillance footage showed the man covered up as he left with an unknown amount of cash.
Police searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect.
