According to a witness, who asked not to be identified,

the boys entered with a gun and their faces covered and assaulted the merchant, then fled the place.”

This person added that the owner of the place fired two shots in the air and now he is going to trial for having an expired gun permit. The authorities confiscated the gun and now the man will be prosecuted, in addition to having to pay a lawyer.
