Night Elf Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My DH took our dd17 to deposit her check at Wachovia today at 2:30pm. No one was allowed in the bank because it had been robbed at 1:00pm. Yikes! And now my DH found an update online that said the suspect was found a little while ago and wouldn't surrender his gun. He pointed at the officer who responded with gun and the suspect was killed. It's kind of surreal to have something like this happen just a couple of miles from my home.

I'm glad they didn't go earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Whew! That was close. Glad they're ok. A couple of weeks ago I was driving home from dd16's piano lesson. A truck in front of me turned the corner ahead of me and then tried to pull into a bank but was unable to because it was blocked by a police car. We learned later that the bank had just been robbed. Seems it's happening a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Wow!! That's so scary! Thank God they didn't go earlier in the day. That happened down the street from me too. Literally like 4 or 5 blocks away a bank was held up and there was a hostage standoff with the police!! We had no idea what was even going on there until we saw it on the news that night. We were floored when we saw how close it was to us! :eek: This is a crazy world we live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 unfortunately, as the economy continues to falter, these incidents will become more and more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in FL Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yes, bank robberies are up a LOT due to the recession. We just had another one here today. My dh works in banking, but I'm very thankful he's not at a branch right this year! Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peek a Boo Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 isn't that a weird feeling? yeah -- a guy in our crime watch community was murdered when his pawn shop was robbed. They have to keep the pawn shop open for 90 days. DH was down there today helping be part of the 'strength in numbers' security team they put together till it closes. There are reward posters EVERYWHERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Wow!! That's so scary! Thank God they didn't go earlier in the day. Yes, especially since my dd17 goes into the bank alone to do her banking. She's a young adult with a job and is so proud of herself for learning how to do things on her own. She was freaked out to realize her bank was robbed. I couldn't imagine if she was inside it when it happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
