Police in Fort Collins are looking for a man who they say used a semi-automatic rifle to rob a convenience store on Saturday.

That’s according to a post on the Fort Collins Police Services Facebook page. According to the post, police were called to a convenience store at 970 West Horsetooth Road a little after 1 p.m.
