The food truck was parked near 25th and Lincoln when, Maximino said, two men parked around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. One of them asked to buy a soda, but once an employee went to get the drink, he jumped through the window and tried to grab the cash register. The money fell to the floor, and Maximino said one of the men pulled out a gun.

“We were scared because it was all so fast,” she said.
