One of the men, a black male dressed in black and wearing a surgical mask, pointed a gun at him and demanded money, according to the OCSO.
The other individual, who appeared to be a white male also wearing a face mask, was believed to be acting as the lookout.
After getting a small amount of money and taking personal items from the clerk, the OCSO said the men ran out to a dark-colored Jeep Cherokee and drove away.
The suspects later were spotted by Santa Rosa County deputies near Milton. Still, they bailed from the car and ran, managing to escape.
