ROUND LAKE BEACH, Ill. - A Waukegan woman and 16-year-old boy face charges after they allegedly tried to rob a Round Lake Beach convenience store and were each shot by a clerk.

Feliciyunna Spruille, 20, and the juvenile boy allegedly entered the One Stop Food and Liquor Store Monday evening in the 10000 block of Fairfield Road and ordered the employees behind the counter, Round Lake Beach police said in a statement.

One employee took out a gun and shot at the teen and woman, sending them running to a car waiting outside, police said.
