Mesquite police tonight say they are looking for as many as eight suspects linked to the assault of two convenience store clerks over the weekend. Lieutenant Brandon Ricketts says he has no other way to describe what happened here Saturday night. 'This was absolutely a senseless act of violence.' According to Mesquite police, the incident occurred when an underage customer trying to buy tobacco was turned away by a clerk at this 7-Eleven. Investigators say that after the girl was denied, she went outside to rally her friends.
