The man was shot early Sunday morning at one of the coffee company’s franchises inside of a gas station.
A Dunkin’ employee was shot early Sunday morning at one of the coffee company’s franchises inside of a gas station in Randolph, the company has confirmed.
The man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, according to a release from officials.
The shooting happened around 1 a.m. at the Mobile Gas Station on North Main Street. Police said the suspect entered the gas station, had a fight with the Dunkin’ employee, and then left the station. Seconds later, he reportedly fired three gunshots into the building, hitting the employee.
In a statement, Dunkin’ said it was aware of the incident and referred all questions to law enforcement.
“The safety and well-being of our franchisees, their employees and customers are our top priority,” the statement read. “Our thoughts are with the Dunkin’ franchised employee who was treated for non-life threatening injuries. We are working with our franchisee who is cooperating fully with the local authorities investigating this incident.”
Police said the suspect appeared to be in his mid to late 20s and was wearing a blue baseball cap, gray Nike sweatshirt bearing the slogan “Just Do It,” jeans, and white sneakers with black laces.
He reportedly fled the scene in a 2007 gray Honda Accord, but the car was recovered later Sunday morning in Dorchester with no one inside.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the Randolph Police Department at 781-963-1212.
