Coulson swore under his breath; that was exactly what he had been trying to avoid. He drew his gun, leaving the remaining robber struggling between which threat to focus on, and Coulson kept one hand raised, trying to calm the situation. "Hey- let's all just calm down, all right?" he said, eyes flicking between the shape shifter and the robbery, and keeping an eye on the downed gunman. The cashier was frozen wide eyed behind the counter, hands over her ears and staring at the candy display.
Coulson took a few cautious steps forward. "Your friend's going to need medical attention, let's not-" But the other robber wasn't waiting to hear, making a lunge for his partner's gun.
