Was it a real gun?

One of the supermarkets nearby was attacked by some stupid man who thought it fit to ask for money.
It's not clear if he got some, but the people present were able to describe him well.

I wonder if it's the same guy who tried to rob one of the other supermarkets.
It was the second time there and the girls told him "no", when he wanted the money.
The owner was robbed before and he was tied to his chair, this time the robber left the shop.

Well, we've informed the parents and told them that they shouldn't allow children to go to the shops until the police is able to tell them otherwise.
