Violent armed robbers: Surveillance video shows suspects charge in, attack convenience store clerk

central areaWANTED IN SEATTLE --
Shocking surveillance video puts you inside a violent armed robbery in Seattle last week.

Detectives want you to watch the video very carefully and see if you can help identify the suspects.

The video from the ‘Village Market’ on E. Madison shows the men charging in, with guns drawn. One suspect pistol-whips the clerk and pushes him to the back of the store. The other guy frantically picks up money off the floor, having a tough time grabbing it all and stuffing it in his pockets. They're both nervous, waving their guns and running around the store.



It's tough to identify them since they're wearing masks and gloves, but the one suspect’s backpack with a white circle or logo on the back might help:

Detectives say both robbers are black.
