Shocking surveillance footage captures the moment a woman opens fire at a West Virginia gas station, narrowly missing a worker.
In the video, Rebecca Peterson, 42, of Oceana allegedly walks up to the counter of the pit stop’s convenience store with a gun around 4 a.m. Friday and tells the clerk she wants to rob the store — before shooting at the back wall behind him.
“Oh, my God!” screams the Shell station clerk, Alaa Hammad, who was covering a shift for a friend at the Lincoln County rest stop at the time, according to WCHS and video obtained by the outlet.
Hammad had just told Peterson, who was cloaked in a black hoodie, that the owner was in a back room counting money, and he was running away when she shot at the surveillance camera in the back of the store, according to video and authorities.
“I tried to let her be calm and saw her mentality is not awake,” the clerk later told the local outlet.
Peterson left the store in her car but was tracked down by police a short time afterward.
She was charged with attempted armed robbery, wanton endangerment, brandishing, assault and destruction of property, according to West Virginia State Police.
