According to witnesses, the robber had entered the store at around 2p.m, and told an employee, who tried to confront him, that he had a gun.

After the Irvine Police Department set up the search, they alerted all the residents of the area to stay indoors till the culprit is caught in order to ensure their safety, considering that the robber was believed to have a gun.
