Lockport police and Niagara County Sheriff's deputies are on scene of an armed robbery at 7-Eleven, 95 South Transit St., at the corner of High Street.

According to early reports, a male entered the store wearing a ski mask or cloak pulled over his head and displayed a 12-inch knife. He then fled south from the store.

One account says the 5-foot, 10-inch male was wearing a red and black jacket with black pants. Another says the jacket was red and white.

UPDATE (12:51 a.m) — NYSP is also on scene at the convenience store with a person of interest detained in the back of the Trooper's SUV.

We'll bring you more information when we have it.
