A Topeka man was sentenced Monday to 13 years in federal prison for robbing a Valero gas station and shooting the clerk, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.

According to court documents, Johnson entered a Valero gas station at 1161 S.W. Gage in Topeka, carrying a .40 caliber handgun. He demanded money from the cash register and ordered a customer to the floor, putting his foot on the customer’s head.
When a clerk refused to turn over money from the cash register, Johnson shot the clerk several times. He then ordered the customer to open the cash register. Johnson fled the store in a black Monte Carlo. Police found the wounded clerk, who was taken to the hospital and survived the shooting.
