OZONE PARK, Queens (WABC) -- A manhunt is underway for three well-dressed men who shot and pistol-whipped two employees during a robbery in Queens Monday morning.

The employees, who are both men, were attacked by three robbers, all dressed in suits, inside a supply shop on 101st Avenue near 99th Street just before 10:30 a.m.

One of the victims was left in critical condition after being shot in the head. His son was pistol whipped and is being interviewed by detectives.

The two victims appear to run a grocery distribution business called Garden Valley Distributors.

Three men fled in a dark colored vehicle.
