Gunmen rob Charlotte pawn shop while child ducks for cover

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Employees at a Charlotte pawnshop were robbed at gunpoint Friday morning, officials said.

"They pointed the gun at all of us," an employee, who did not want to be identified, said.

A surveillance photo showed a man with a long gun robbing the Cash America Pawn store on Freedom Drive while a child ducked for cover in the background.

"They pointed the gun at the kid. It was, it was a lot," the employee said. "The baby was crying."

The gunmen demanded money.

"He said, 'We don't want to play any games. Everybody get on the floor,'" the employee said.

She said her co-workers handed them money from the cash drawers and the gunmen fled in a car.
 
There have been no arrests.
