27-year-old man is wanted for attempted first-degree murder after dramatic surveillance footage captured him chasing a woman with a gun into a gas station in Pitt County.
According to report, a woman was seen jumping over the counter and running into what appears to be the back office to escape, while two employees bravely hold back the armed man as he tries to follow her.
Authorities have identified the gunman as 27-year-old Canyjzi Johnson of Nashville. Deputies say a white Ford pickup truck believed to be owned by Johnson was towed from the area as the search for him continued.
The manhunt led deputies to shut down East Hanrahan Road near the Weyerhaeuser plant to all traffic around 12:30 p.m. on Friday, with a highway closed for most of Friday afternoon before being reopened.
Johnson remains wanted for attempted first-degree murder as the investigation continues.
