Owner, Sharon Eldridge, says the suspects were in the store that afternoon asking questions about guns and handling some weapons. She thinks they may have been casing the place.
Eldridge locks up each gun in the store every night in a gun safe, so in incidents like this guns can't get in the hands of bad people, she said.
Investigators said the suspects threw a rock at the store’s window before climbing through into the store around 1:20 a.m. Tuesday.
