In which case it would be news for years. 
Note: Every small town in America has a guy named Whitey capable of robbing the "Corner Drug". |
True. They haven't released the name of the guy yet. I'm assuming it is because he probably has a family they want to notify first.
I do have to say the town kind of freaked out, but I guess reacted pretty fast. The drug store is about 4 blocks south of a middle school and I guess the guy drove off in that direction. They had the school on lock-down in a matter of minutes. Probably scared the hell out of some of the kids.
I'm not sure if the guy is from around here. As he fled he turned down a dead end street. Maybe he is from here and was just freaking out as he ran, but there were a lot of other roads he could have taken and he picked the one that is a dead end.
Of course there is always the option that he knew he was going to kill himself and was just trying to find a good place to do it. He parked right next to an open field where there are no houses or anything.
