Two tourists were robbed at gunpoint, yesterday in the parking lot of Saint Mary's Cathedral.
Sgt. Lawrence Price of the San Francisco Police Department identified the victims as WeiMing Chen, 28, and his wife Li Lu, 30.
The couple told police they had left their tour group around 10 a.m. and made their way to the lower lot of the parking lot to take pictures when the thief approached them, waving his pistol and demanding their money. Chen gave him about one-hundred dollars in cash, but the thief did not take off running until Chen handed over his Visa card, the couple's passports, camera, and airline tickets.
The couple's entire tour group of 30 were scheduled to board their flight back to Taipei at 1 p.m. No one knows if the couple was able to make it.
The suspect was wearing a black jacket and cap at the time of the assault, and appeared to be 18 years of age. Police are looking for the suspect.

Good lead -- just get rid of the comma.
I'd rather see you go directly from your lead to P3, as follows:
WeiMing Chen, 28, and his wife Li Lu, 30, told police they had left their tour group around 10 a.m. to take pictures from lower parking lot when the robber approached them, waving his pistol and demanding their money. (As you can see, I also tightened it up and fixed your robber/thief error.)
I might attribute some of the information in a subsequent paragraph to Sgt. Price (how they handed everything over to the robber, perhaps?)
$100, not one-hundred dollars
I switch the order of your last two paragraphs.
8/10
