Houston police said two men pistol-whipped a female employee of Transportes San Miguel in the 7200 block of Long Drive on June 29. The company is also known as "People Express."

The company's manager got into a struggle with one of the men, investigators said. The man suffered a minor gunshot wound, police said.

One of the men fled on foot while the other got away in a gray Nissan Titan pickup truck. They took about $8,000 from the business, officials said.

Police said four men entered a residence on the property on July 14. Some of the company's customers were spending the night in the home because they arrived late at night.

The men tied up one person and kicked him in the head, police said.. The attackers rounded up other victims, officials said. The attackers demanded money, keys, cellular phones and anything else they thought was valuable, investigators said.

Surveillance video showed the men were armed with AK-47 assault rifles and handguns. They were also wearing bullet-proof vests, police said.

Detectives described the wanted men as Hispanic and in their 20s.

The business owner has installed more surveillance cameras on the property.

Investigators said the men could be responsible for several other robberies.

Anyone with information is asked to call the HPD Robbery Division at 713-308-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Am I alone in being bothered by one reporter referring to the rifles as assault weapons and the other reporter topped her ignorance by calling the rifles automatic weapons? Even after hearing the police refer to them as semi-auto pistols and rifles.

Automatic Weapons!!!!...

Can you tell from the video if these are semi or full auto?

It's the same concept as calling a criminal committing a robbery "a gunman," subtle negative comments about the gun that have a cumulative effect over time.

It's intentional propaganda. Remember that the next time some "useful idiot" says the MSM isn't biased.
