SPANAWAY, Wash. - Two teens were shot Thursday night during an alleged armed robbery at a cannabis store in Spanaway.
The Pierce County Sheriff's Office says a store employee called 911 around 9:30 p.m. to say that their business, Blessings Cannabis, had been robbed by four or five males with guns who were wearing hooded jackets and masks.
The employees told deputies that the suspects pointed guns at them while they stole money and marijuana. At one point, an employee retrieved a gun and shot at the suspects.
A short while later, two 19-year-olds showed up at a local hospital with gunshot wounds. They were arrested and booked into jail for robbery in the first degree, the sheriff's office says.
The investigation is ongoing and the search for the other suspects continues. Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff's office.
