Man checking lottery tickets unmoved by armed robbery taking place

Police are looking for four suspects who robbed a Northeast D.C. convenience store earlier this week.

The masked suspects entered the business on Eastern Avenue at around 7:53 p.m. Monday. One of them was holding a handgun. Another suspect was able to squeeze through a small window to get into the area where the cashiers were located.

“He said, ‘Open the safe drawer,’” one of the store employees told reporter.

Many of the customers in the store were ordered to the back of the store by the suspects.

While this was all going on, there was a man sitting near the entrance of the store checking his lottery tickets. In the video recorded by surveillance cameras inside the store, you can see the suspect armed with a gun apparently motion to the man to move with the others and even points the weapon at his head. But the customer does not budge.
