Surveillance video from the store shows the three burglars searching for the guns, backpacks open but no merchandise to fill them, the station reported.
Two miles down the road, MTG Firearms was hit just minutes later, likely by the same suspects.
Crime scene investigators gathered evidence, including a footprint from one of the suspects.
