Armed juveniles accused of fighing Superlo employees
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two armed juveniles were detained after fighting employees at Superlo in East Memphis Sunday afternoon, police say.
Officers say they responded to an aggravated assault call at the Superlo Foods Store on 4571 Quince Road just before 1:20 p.m. Several suspects armed with firearms were accused of causing a disturbance at the business.
The store manager told police that it all started when one of the employees escorted the suspect off the premises. She says the suspect was repeatedly told to stay out of the store due to him stealing.

That is when the suspect allegedly returned to the store with his mother and began arguing with the employees about them putting their hands on her son.
During the argument, an employee says the suspect punched her on the right side of her face. The victim's brother is also accused of coming into the store, arguing before hitting an employee in the head with an unknown object.
The security guard says he saw the suspects with one assault rifle and a handgun, however, they were not pointed at anyone in the store.
When officers made it to the scene, they determined that the suspects were the aggressors, and they were detained at that time. They were then released and placed on an Authorization of Agency list, meaning they are banned from the property.
The unknown suspects were not identified. However, the Department of Children's Services was called due to the two suspects being underage.
Just last week, suspects were caught on camera attacking two Super Lo Foods employees at the same location. Police say video footage from the store showed three men come into the business and physically assault two older male employees.
