Police say the two were approached by a man trying to sell them candy and said he needed money for his sick daughter.

The two gave the man some money and continued to put groceries away.

Police say a few minutes later, the same man came back with a gun and demanded all of their money.

"Multiple" gunshots were fired and the suspect left the scene with an undisclosed amount of money. No one was injured.
