Salt Lake County Sheriff's deputies are looking for a man who robbed a gas station with a small machine gun Tuesday night.
He walked into the 7-Eleven at 4705 S. Holladay Blvd. about 8:15 p.m., and placed an Uzi or other mini-machine-gun on the counter, along with a bag that he told the cashier to fill with money. The cashier complied, and the man left the store. He jumped into the passenger seat of a small, light-colored pickup truck.
Witnesses followed the truck until they lost it in nearby neighborhood streets.
The man is described as being 5-feet-5-inches tall with a slight build, possibly a young person. He was dressed in black military-style clothing and wore gloves and a ski mask over his face.
