Hopefully the release of the video of these suspects helps authorities continue their investigations into this. Those investigations, of course, should include why this was allowed to go on unchecked. Is this sort of thing a common occurrence at this gas station? Was there no security? Was there any kind of incident leading up to this alleged assault? Finding the suspects involved here is obviously a priority, but a victim's loved ones also deserve to know they're getting the whole story.
