HOUSTON -- A fast-food restaurant employee was shot in the leg during a robbery in northwest Houston, KPRC Local 2 reported.

The pair demanded money, but were so nervous that one fumbled with his gun and accidentally shot a 45-year-old employee, according to investigators.

The wounded man is expected to be OK.

No one else was injured.

The crooks escaped.
