Milford Police are asking the public to view a series of photographs taken from security cameras at Granite Gulf gas station, to see if they can identify the suspect or the getaway vehicle.

An armed robber fired a handgun at an attendant twice inside Granite Gulf Wednesday night, in a robbery of the service station. The employee was not injured, said Police Chief Thomas O'Loughlin.

The robbery was reported shortly after 7 p.m., when the service station was open for business and had customers at the gas pumps. The robber entered the office, and demanded cash from the attendant, O'Loughlin said. The employee didn't immediately turn over any money, and instead entered the service bay area, where his boss was working, the police chief said. At that time…
