WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Police are searching for two men who allegedly shot an employee multiple times while robbing a Dunkin Donuts in Woodbridge, Virginia early Friday morning.
On Oct. 28 around 3:30 a.m., officers responded to the Dunkin Donuts & Baskin Robbins located at 13585 Minnieville Road to investigate a burglary.
Detectives say around 3 a.m., video surveillance captured a grey SUV parked next to the store and then two masked men smash the drive-through window to get inside the business. Once inside the store, the suspects removed a safe from an office before fleeing in the same SUV.
While investigating the incident, officers received a call for a shooting that just occurred at the Dunkin Donuts at 2201 Old Bridge Road.
After arriving at the store, officers discovered an employee of the business suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers provided immediate first aid to the 29-year-old man until rescue personnel arrived at the store. The victim was then taken to an area hospital, where his injuries were determined to be non-life-threatening.
The investigation into the shooting revealed the victim was working inside the business when two masked men smashed the drive-through window and got inside the store. While inside, the suspects found the victim and held him at gunpoint before attempting to take money from the registers. When the suspects were unsuccessful, they demanded the victim's property and fired multiple rounds, striking the 29-year-old man.
Police say the suspects then ran in a grey SUV.
Detectives with the Violent Crimes Bureau have determined the same suspects were involved in both incidents.
The investigation into these incidents is active and ongoing.
Police provide the following suspect descriptions:
