An 8-year-old boy wielding a loaded handgun attempted to rob a Florida grocery store on Wednesday night.

The West Palm Beach Police Department told WFTV the boy walked into the King Foods & Meat Bazaar, pulled a gun from his sweater and demanded money from the clerk.

"He was wearing like a motorcycle helmet, and he was wearing a sweater over his mouth," the clerk reported. "He was only showing his eyes."

Another worker was able to get the gun away from the boy. No one was hurt.

According to the report, the boy is believed to have taken the handgun out of his mother's purse.

No charges have been filed as the boy is being evaluated by health care professionals.
