It is not answered HOW they gained access to the adjacent unit, from which their entry attack was made.
These guys Must have passed an Intense background check otherwise how could they posses the handguns.
Proof that bad guys will find a way to get a gun while a law abiding citizen is – in many instances – denied purchasing or owning one.
Only removed 9 handguns? Sounds rather selective and limited in scope for a gun store burglary. You’d think they’d grab as much as they could carry.
