The Houston Police Department released surveillance video of four suspects believed to be involved in the aggravated robbery of a gas station.

HOUSTON - The Houston Police Department is looking for help identifying four suspects involved in an aggravated gas station robbery.

North Freeway gas station shooting

The backstory:

Around 3 a.m. on April 23, four men went inside a convenience store located in the 2500 block of North Freeway, police say.

Surveillance video shows the men acted like customers and walked around the store, but as they walked back to the door, three of them suddenly pulled out handguns and pointed them at the employee behind the counter. The fourth man stood at the door.

According to authorities, the employee reached for his own gun, which caused the suspects to fire their guns multiple times and run outside.

Video shows the men starting to shoot inside the store from outside. One of the suspects was still inside the convenience store and once he made it outside, the group ran from the gas station.
