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.

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
