It happened around eleven last night on Mike Padgett Highway.
Authorities say one black male -- and two other unidentified males came into the convenient store in ski masks and gloves. All three were armed with guns. Two female employees were inside the store,one behind the register and the other in an aisle.

Investigator Mark Dobbins says one man badly beat the woman in the aisle. She is recovering at MCG this morning. The other two men allegedly went behind the register and hit the other woman.

The women inside the store say the men fled on foot. It is still unclear if the suspects got away with any money.

Officers have already arrested the suspects in the Savin Haven robbery case from last week.

Seems like these men wanted something more than just the money. Payback? Evil men flourish when good men do nothing. If you know who these people are ... turn them in. Because their next victims might be someone a whole lot closer to you.

Did anyone notice on the video that the people resembled the ones who robbed the Goshen Grocery??????

I think more gas station clerks should arm themselves and have more security. You would see some of this senseless violence and stealing be cut down a whole lot. I would not feel sorry for these thugs at all. People should feel safe enough to go to a gas station for crying out loud.

I can't believe what people are doing. This store is only a few miles down the road from my own house. My husband now says that I can't go to this store alone in the evening time anymore because of this and it just seems ridiculous. People shouldn't have to live in fear of going to the gas station. I hope they catch those guys who did this to them. I wish we could beat them badly and make them see what they have done to those ladies. What's the world coming to?

What is wrong with ppl? Take the money or what ever you want no need to harm someone, they didn't turn you into thugs, you did it to yourselve's...leave the people alone, why should they lose there life or injured just because you want to steal??? Just take it and go...I'm sure that was both clerk's attitude, so no need to harm anyone...
