At approximately 12:54 p.m., three female employees, a Clerk, a Secretary, and a Janitor were in the kitchen area of the administration building when they were confronted by two armed men. One of the robbers, wearing a fluorescent green traffic vest, and a black helmet, entered the kitchen, pulled out a 9mm pistol, and ordered the women to get on the floor, declaring, "It's a robbery." The second suspect, also wearing a black helmet, was similarly armed and pointed his weapon at the other two employees. The assailants forced the women into the post office area of the building, where the safe is located.
