KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A man was shot Friday night during a reported armed robbery at a Kelseyville convenience store and gas station.

The incident happened at around 11 p.m. at Mt. Konocti Gas & Mart, known to locals as Store 24, located at 5475 Main St.

Based on reports from the scene a male store clerk was shot in the chest and in the hand by a male suspect wearing a dark hoodie and dark clothing, with a bandanna around his face.

The male suspect asked for money and when the clerk tried to stop him, the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot him.

The suspect allegedly took a small amount of money and ran across a nearby field, according to witnesses.

There was no official confirmation on the identity of the victim, but reports from the scene indicated it was store clerk Forrest Seagrave of Kelseyville.

Kelseyville Fire Protection District ambulances responded to the scene to transport the shooting victim to Lampson Field, where a REACH air ambulance originally was to have taken him to a regional trauma center, radio reports indicated.

Paramedics reported the shooting victim was complaining of shortness of breath, but he was said to be reported to be alert and oriented.

A short time later, the Kelseyville Fire ambulance was reported leaving the airport and heading to Sutter Lakeside Hospital, according to Tyler Elsa and Rodney Gard, who were in the area. They said no air ambulance came to the airport.

Sheriff’s deputies and California Highway Patrol officers were at the gas station, which Elsa said was cordoned off with crime tape. A nearby road also was closed off.

Elsa said it appeared that there had been a struggle in front of the counter and doorway, with items all over the floor.

The gas station was the same location that a man who had been stabbed about a dozen times was found nearly two weeks ago, as Lake County News has reported. The stabbing victim was reportedly transported and left at the station.

Additional details about the shooting will be posted as they become available.
