A gun was pointed at a Port Arthur store clerk Wednesday evening following a strong-arm robbery, leaving the police searching for two men believed involved in the assault.

Port Arthur Police Department officers responded to 1615 FM 365 at Tractor Supply in reference to the robbery that just occurred at approximately 6:38 p.m. Wednesday.
