Holy Crap! Armed robbery a few blocks from my house!
I live in a small town. Not a lot of action going on here. I just got home from going to the store and on my way there the normal road I take was closed off by the police. On the way home it still is. As I walked in the door I got a call from a friend of mine who is a cop here in town asking if I will drive to his house and let his daughter in the house (she was taking the bus home from school) because she forgot her key and he got called into work.
I asked him what was up and he tells me that a guy robbed the pharmacy down the street from my house at gunpoint so he could get some Oxycontin. The police chased him into a dead end street where there was a standoff. After about two hours of the standoff the guy shot himself.
Pretty wild. This will be the talk of the town for the next six months.
