Early this morning at about 0230 hours my wife had a gun put in her face and was beaten by two masked robbers. It started when things slowed down after she locked up the beer cooler for the night. She stepped outside with her cell phone to give her friend a call.
Well when she stepped out the door two guys with masks on came out of no where and one of them stuck a gun in her face. My wife being no small woman, knocked the gun out of the guys hand with her left hand and smashed him in the face with her cell phone with her right hand. Then the other Guy jumped in and they pummeled her pretty good.
She was able to get back in the store and lock the doors and call 911. She says one guys mask came down and she saw his face but has not been able to pick him out of a photo line up as of this writing. She said when the gun fell it broke so she thinks it may have been fake.
I did not find any of this out until I stopped there to get my coffee on the way into work at 0300. Needless to say I am a little shaken. She would not go to the hospital but the paramedics said she seemed to be okay except for some bumps and bruises and a black eye.
From now on she will be carrying her CZ - 75 compact in her back pocket. I don’t care what the store policy is.
I’m sorry that happened to your wife. I’m glad she lived through it! Be sure to take photographs of her injuries later on today as the contusions will darken and swell. Photographic evidence might prove helpful pending future prosecution. And try to get her to go and get examined by a doctor. Imaging may be in order to insure that she has no internal and or permanent injuries. Hope they catch the sons-of-bitches.
Wow Ghostman! I’m sorry to hear that happened to her, and I’m glad she’s ok. Like M-K said, see if you can convince her to at least get looked at by a doctor. Not only for legal reasons, but the aches and pains associated with something like this often don’t manafest themselves untill later. I hope they catch the bastards.
Thank goodness your wife is OK. You think this stuff always happens to other people. I hope your wife is able to recover both physically and mentally. This has got to be very traumatic. Any thoughts on a new profession?
She just called me and said she watched the video. The getaway car had two females in front with at least one of the dirtbags in the back. They got a good look at the vehicle but not the tag number.
Wow GM, I’m sure that was traumatic for your wife. I’m glad she on the mend. My son was robbed a couple of years ago at gun point coming out of a kinkos in Cinti. The two thugs took his mac book, iphone and wallet. Within one week he got a call from a gal that said she found his contact info on her new mac. She wanted to sell it back to him… :suicide2: This was a real motivation for ccw us.
Anyhow, hope they catch these thugs and give them some time to reflect on their deeds. I know the general public doesn’t approve of a good beat down but I don’t have a problem with it if deserved for these types.
Scumbags. I’m glad she got away from them, if given the chance that kind of sub human will do a lot of damage. I can’t imagine what you are going through, I would be livid.
