Sgt. Jason Robillard, a police spokesman, says in a release that two masked suspects entered Stepping Stone Holistic Living Store around 5 p.m. Sunday.
Robillard says the pair made demands before one of them fired a gun, hitting a 32-year-old customer.
He says the wounded Vancouver man was taken to hospital and will recover.
The suspects fled before police arrived but investigators have not said if the pair escaped with any merchandise.
The police department’s major crimes unit has been assigned to the case and officers are seeking information on the holdup from the public.
