 I was talking with my lady friend about an armed robbery that she was involved in years ago while she was working as employee of 7-11 in Denver. She and another woman employee were in the store working, there were two small neighborhood children in the store along with a man who was in the back of the store shopping, suddenly a man comes in with a mask on and points a .357 at the women and demands the money in the safe. the women try to explain that the safe was on a time lock and they could not open the safe for at least 10 minutes. they only had about $40.00 in the register and the armed robber was getting very angry.

What the women in the store did not know was that a woman across the street from the store saw two men beside the store and she saw the armed robber put the mask over his face so she drove down the one way street in front of the store the wrong way because she saw a police car up the street. She was able to advise the officer that an armed robbery was in progress at the store.

While the robber was demanding the money from the safe, he was pointing the gun and threatening to shoot the women, suddenly the police car drives thru the window of the store and the robber turns and shots were exchanged between the robber and the officer. My lady friend jumped on top of the two neighborhood children as the shots were exchanged. The robber tried to run away but was shot in the butt and apprehended. later the ladies learned that this robber was just out of prison for a previous armed robbery where he shot the woman teller in the back and she was paralyzed. the two neighborhood children had minor scrapes from my lady friend jumping on top of them to protect them from the shooting that was going on, the male customer who was in the back of the store left after the robber was apprehended.

Later the robber turning in his partner who happened to be the male customer in the store who had no mask on, when the robbery went wrong and his partner got shot, he left his gun hiding behind some food on the shelf and walked away as if he had nothing to do with the robbery. His job was to make sure the masked armed robber was protected and to insure the robber was not followed out of the store had it been successful. No one realized the second unmasked armed robber was even involved until much later. any CCW citizen would have thought there was only one shooter in the robbery ... so if you find yourself in a similar situation, never assume the obvious too quickly.
