Five robbers shot and killed an employee and a security guard of a grocery store after they failed to open its cash register in Quezon City last weekend.
The victims were first reported to be injured but were later declared dead, according to reports.
According to the report, the robbers entered a grocery store in Brgy. Holy Spirit in Quezon City this Sunday night.
In the CCTV footage, the cashier immediately hid while the male merchandiser resisted, prompting the suspects to push him away.
The footage also showed the other robbers went directly to the cash register and threw a backpack. They tried to open the box but failed.
The two injured victims were rushed to the hospital while five suspects fled on three motorcycles.
According to the investigation, four of the robbers entered the grocery store while another served as a lookout.
The backpack was left near the box, where the suspects were supposed to put the money.
This is not the first time the grocery store has been robbed.
The police continue to conduct follow up operations to find the suspects.
