Police believe two men wearing balaclavas broke into the shop through a rear window shortly after 7.30am and waited for staff to arrive.
The men confronted the 47yearold store manager as he unlocked the store, with one of the pair producing a firearm and making demands for cash.
The store manager refused to hand over any money and the pair then fled via the same rear window.
A shot was discharged from the firearm as the men fled, but nobody was injured.
The bandits were last seen running west into Power Road.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Shot fired in post office holdup
