A gunman who wore a dark hoodie, along with a bandanna over his face, robbed a gas station minimart adjacent the University of Southern California early Monday morning, police said.

The robbery occurred about 2:10 a.m. at Exposition Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, said Sgt. Bret Guyre of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Southwest Station.

The suspect entered the ARCO minimart, fired a shot into the ceiling and demanded money from the cash register, Guyre said.

The employees complied, handing over more than $500, he said, and the gunman fled on foot. There were no injuries.
