(Michigan City, IN) - A gun was flashed at a grocery store clerk by a suspected shoplifter late this morning in Michigan City. 

About 11 a.m., officers were called to Meijer.  According to police, someone from the store reported a gun was pointed at a loss prevention worker at the store on South Franklin Street.  

The suspects described as a male and female, possibly teenagers, ran out of the store.  It appears officers, hot on their trail, captured at least one of the suspects near a car wash close to the chain supermarket.  Police also recovered a gun which was possibly the one pointed at the store employee.

The female was last seen on foot heading toward a hotel in that area, police said. 

What was possibly stolen along with other details were not immediately available because of police being early in the investigation.
