Police are looking for two men who shot up an Athens pharmacy and demanded oxycodon pills in broad daylight, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Employees at the Village Drug Store on Prince Avenue were threatened at gunpoint Friday by two men wearing orange masks and hoodies.

One of the men pointed a gun at about a dozen employees while the other masked man went behind the counter with a bag for the pills, according to Channel 2.

The men grew impatient with the employee getting the pills and fired a shot into the ceiling, police said.

A witness told police the men left in a green Honda or Acura.

No customers were in the store at the time of the robbery. Police do not believe this was an inside job.
