Scary time in STG today

[Dr. Jones]

Armed robbery (with firearm and sawed-off shotgun) of a Zions Bank just up the street from my house.

Robber took two hostages and fled.

Schools went into lockdown.

I have kids in 3 different schools and two of them came home while the last (2nd grader) was still locked down because the suspect was on foot and near the school. Canines, helicopters, insane amounts of cops all over the school area.

They caught up to the guy and I don't know all the specifics, but he got shot in the head.

All kids home safe.

Wow...


On a lighter note, there is a movie script in there somewhere.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Happy to hear the kids are all safe.

Also on a light note, isnt a sawed off shotgun a firearm?

Whitnee Holt, who lives in the area near where police found the suspect, said she was listening to a police scanner in her home with a friend when they both suddenly heard an exchange of gunfire outside.

We heard a series of other gunshots and then my husband came in and said ‘Get down!’
“I looked to my friend and said, ‘I think those are gunshots,’” Holt said, “and then we heard a series of other gunshots and then my husband came in and said ‘Get down!’ and so we all got down. We then looked out the window and saw paramedics coming down the road.”

Standard pasttime in STG, listening to police scanners on a random afternoon.

I have a scanner app on my phone and listen to it all the time. I listened to Boston's scanner right when the bombers hit that marathon -- it was crazy. There is so much that goes on that doesn't get reported.
