I was outside mowing the grass earlier today, and I heard gunfire off in the distance. It turns out that someone attempted to rob the bank near my house. Seriously, I can see the back of the hotel that is next to it from the end of my street. Well, they called in SWAT and blocked off the main street, and there were at least five news helicopters flying circles around the shopping center and the neighborhood and a swarm of cops, SWAT, and FBI agents surrounding the place. Thankfully, no one was killed, and the gunmen didn't even take any money. (WTF?!)
