Three suspects showed up at a pot co-op center located in the 8200 block of White Oak Avenue shortly before 9:35 p.m. on the 15th. Once inside, two of the suspects, all male Hispanics, pulled out handguns and shot at the two workers inside the business. One of the victims retrieved a gun kept in the co-op for security and shot back, but his shots were ineffective after being fired at by the suspects.
