Described as potentially Hispanic, the suspects displayed distinct characteristics: one was approximately 5-foot-6 and armed with a handgun, while the other was about 5 feet tall and carried a pocket knife. The suspects fled south towards Whittier, and as of the morning following the incident, police are still working to gather evidence and seek witnesses. Anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to local law enforcement.
