(FARMVILLE) -- Three people are dead following an armed robbery in Pitt County Sunday night.  Christy Wallace of the Pitt County Sheriff's Department said one of the victims was a high school student.

"They were all three employees of the store," said Wallace.  "We know that the one teenager was the son of the store owner. We believe that the other two were either close acquaintances of the family or family members, distant family members."

The triple shooting occurred at the Hustle Mart convenience store in Farmville. Authorities are looking for three suspects whose images were clearly caught on surveillance video.

"It is very clear, one of the suspects, you can see details of his face.  The other two, you can see vaguely their face, but all of their clothing is very distinctive."

Authorities have not yet released the names of the deceased store employees.  That information is expected on Monday afternoon.
