Armed robbery at Ballard video store

Police are looking for an armed robbery suspect who robbed the Rain City Video at the corner of 8th Ave NW & NW Market St at 8:30 Wednesday night, Detective Mark Jamieson with Seattle Police tells us. A male in a black hoodie, baggy jeans and a black mask with eyes cut out walked into the store and displayed a silver hand gun, Jamieson says. A customer called 911 after the suspect left the store on foot. Officers and a K-9 unit are in the area searching for the suspect. Jamieson says that this robbery is similar to the armed robbery in Maple Leaf just two days ago.
