2300 block of Varnum Street (7-11): At about 2:25 am officers responded for a commercial armed robbery. When the officers arrived they learned that three individuals with shirts covering their faces came into the store armed with handguns. They demanded money from the store clerk and as he was complying with their demand one of them hit the clerk in the back of the head with a handgun.
