FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- Police here are looking for two men who robbed two gas station convenience stores early Wednesday.
Federal Way police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said the first robbery happened about 1:30 a.m. when the men walked into a Chevron station at 1712 S 356th Street.
The store clerk, who would not give his name, said the men put a gun to the back of his head and took his wallet and the cash from two registers.
About 15 minutes later the same two men went to a 7-Eleven gas station at 28719 Military Road South, but the clerk at that store fought back, Schrock said.
The would-be robbers ran off without getting any cash. The store clerk was taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries he sustained while fighting with the gunmen.
Schrock said the first robber is black, about 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and was wearing a turquoise jumpsuit. He had navy blue gloves, a dark colored cap and a blue bandana covering his face. Schrock said the man was wearing a black shirt and black pants in the second robbery.
The second man involved in the robberies is black, also 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall with a short beard. He was wearing black pants, black hoodie, a gray cap, white gloves and shoes, and had a white scarf or shirt covering his face.
Police are also investigating whether another robbery in Renton a short time later could be connected. A 7-Eleven store in the 1200 block of SW 43rd St. was robbed at 2:10 a.m. by two similarly-described men with bandanas over their faces.
Anyone with information about the robbers is asked to call Federal Way police.

man I go here all the time in the mornings before work to get coffee, really nice man and that store stay getting robbed because it is right off of hwy.. he need get that 12 guage and keep that thing ready.Â
They're obviously Obama voters gathering campaign contribution money.
My Aunt is the Manger at the 7-11 store in Federal Way they guy is fine he got out of the hospital. I think what saved his life was the bullet hit the glass and went in to the condiments stand. You can see her black van in the parking lots crazy way to close to home.
Man, the first guy must have been really hard up if he decided to rob a gas station in a turquoise jump suit.
I hope they hit some joint where the clerk has a 12 gauge behind the counter. Ventilate the maggots ! ! !
 @ZIPPY a friend of mine was working in a gas station and did what the robber said: give me the cash drawer. she hit him upside the head knocked him out and dialed 911. the operator said which way did he go and her response to sleep.
 @wellduhspankky If I were the dispatcher, I probably would've laughed at that. I'm definitely laughing right now! :)
Hah ! ! I love hearing about ladies that can take care of themselves !
Maybe they'll "resist arrest" when they're eventually cornered like the cowardly rats they are.
I would not want to ever work the night shift at a gas station for this very reason!
