COLUMBIA, TN (WSMV) -Police say a 22-year-old employee died after being shot during a robbery at Papa John's in Columbia.
The robbery happened at 1902 Shady Brook St. across from the Columbia Mall just before 10 p.m. Monday.
Police say the employee, Gordon Schaffer, was the only person inside the store when two masked men came inside and forced him to open the cash register and took money from the drawer.
According to a release from the police department, although Schaffer was "compliant and offered no resistance," the man with the gun shot at him multiple times, hitting him at least once.
A co-worker who was on the phone with Schaffer heard the whole thing happen and called police.
When officers responded, they found Schaffer on the ground near the register. He was still conscious and told them that two black men robbed him.
Schaffer was taken by LifeFlight to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
The whole incident was captured on surveillance video. Police said the gunman is 5'8" with a heavyset build and was wearing a dark-colored hoodie, pants and shoes and light-colored gloves.
The second robber has a slim build and is approximately 5'9". He was wearing dark-colored clothing and shoes and light-colored gloves and was carrying a bag.

They didn't need to kill him but they did, I guess this was for Mike Brown.
