A stranger attacked a discounter in Hamburg and fired two shots.
There were no injuries, as the police announced on Thursday.
According to initial findings, the pistol was a alarm weapon.
The man had entered the market in the Eimsbüttel district on Wednesday evening as the last customer shortly before the shop closed.
Hamburg - When he was standing at the cash register with what he was supposed to be shopping, he pulled the gun and asked the cashier to close the deal.
Then he went to an office in the supermarket with the woman and another employee.
There he stole money from a safe.
When the robber asked for more cash from the cash register, he fired the two untargeted shots, according to the message.
He fled with a low four-digit sum.
A manhunt was initially unsuccessful.
Witnesses of the crime should report to the police.
