COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers are looking for a man who tried robbing a Waffle House restaurant early Sunday morning.

According to a Waffle House employee who works at the store in the 1000 block of Space Center Drive, a man who may be homeless walked in around 3:21 a.m., said he had a gun and demanded money.

The employee never saw the gun but said the man had his hand in his jacket. After repeatedly telling the suspect he didn't have any money, the suspect finally left.
