This is the terrifying moment two gun-wielding masked raiders burst into a village shop and demanded employees hand over cash while holding a firearm to their heads.
The violent thieves opened fire within the shop, according to police reports, but employees escaped unhurt.
Employees Jill Carrington-Lowe and Luke Searston have been awarded for their bravery throughout the ordeal.
The assailants, Andrew Pakulsi and Lee Barratt, have been jailed for the armed robbery at the Co-Op in Whitwell, Derby in January, the Derby Telegraph reports.
Police say Pakulsi was armed with a pistol and fired a bullet towards Luke while manager Jill was told to open the till at gunpoint.
Miraculously, Luke was uninjured in the exchange.
