According to authorities, three men entered the Walgreens store, two of whom were brandishing handguns.  One suspect grabbed the store clerk working at the front of the store, held her down, tied her up with zipties, and threatened her.

Two other suspects ran toward the pharmacy counter and threatened the pharmacy clerk.  One suspect held a gun to her head and ordered her to open the locked cabinet where narcotics were kept.  The suspects assaulted the clerk and held her down while they stole large quantities of narcotics from the pharmacy.  The suspects then tied up the clerk and forcibly ripped her engagement ring and wedding band from her hand.
