In the video, the woman is seen holding what appeared to be a long gun under a black jacket. Store owner Payton Jones told KIRO 7 she immediately took cover, but the woman broke the store windows and threatened her. Jones could not confirm whether the weapon was a rifle or a shotgun.

“I could feel the adrenaline pumping through me. My heart was pounding,” Jones told KIRO 7. “I felt shaky.”

In the video, the woman can be heard screaming at the two women the whole time. The suspect fled in a white car with about a hundred dollars.

“She said she was going to shoot us. You can hear that in the video,” Jones said. “She said, ‘I don’t want to kill you today.’ And my response was, ‘Please don’t.'”
