It s been a week since Brian Pemble, working the overnight shift at the Marengo Circle K/Shell, was shot in the leg during an armed robbery committed by two men.
Pemble, who had been working at the gas station at 600 N. State St. as a second job for about three and a half to four months, told the Northwest Herald he can remember pretty much everything that happened that night.
He was filling the gas station s beer cave late Feb. 24 when he heard the door chime signal that someone had walked in.
Pemble walked out of the cave.
Two men dressed in dark-colored clothes first robbed a Marengo gas station and shot the clerk last Wednesday. Three other similar robberies were reported in Naperville, Downers Grove and Aurora.
