The suspects were seen leaving the scene in a black Nissan Altima or similar model, and carried a black duffel bag with white lettering “hit it hard” and an image of red boxing gloves.

“Criminals who use firearms to commit violent crime remains the laser focus of ATF, and we must quickly recover these guns before they commit additional crimes,” said ATF Houston Field Division Special Agent in Charge Fred Milanowski.
