Police are searching for two men who robbed a T-Mobile store and then fired a gun at an employee as they fled the Elmhurst location this weekend.

The two alleged perpetrators entered the T-Mobile store at 86-16 Queens Boulevard around 5:35 p.m. on Saturday and displayed a gun, demanding that everyone move to the back of the store, according to police.
