A woman was in critical condition Thursday morning after being stabbed at a Killeen convenience store.

According to our news partner, KWTX, the woman is an employee of Sun Mart at 817 East Rancier. Shortly before 7:30, the woman saw a man approach the checkout counter with items, then turn and walk away. The woman reportedly went around the counter to ask the man what he was doing, at which point he stabbed her several times before fleeing on foot.

The woman was taken to Temple'S Baylor Scott & White Medical Center.

No items were taken from the store, but police told KWTX they are investigating the case as an attempted robbery and assault.
