Its that damn pit bull breed again.

2/10/2011 4:35:05 PM

I bet the robber had bad parents that raised him to act this way.

2/10/2011 4:37:54 PM

This must be what has Panther Creek High School on lockdown

2/10/2011 4:38:50 PM

i want to go watch actually

2/10/2011 4:39:02 PM

Yeah, Alston Ridge Elementary, Mills Middle School, Mills Elementary, and Panther Creek are all locked down from what I heard from a dad here at work.

2/10/2011 4:39:40 PM

This isn't possible, banks are gun free zones.

Gnawing the fingers off hostages, 7/hour until demands are met.

2/10/2011 4:53:41 PM

Um, he didn't ask for money?!

Quote :

"Cary police were communicating Thursday with a gunman who was holding at least one hostage inside a Wachovia bank on Green Level Road. Police said the suspect, a man wearing a purple shirt and red pants, had spoken to authorities by phone, and he had not demanded any money. He was holding a gun on one of the tellers at 10050 Green Level Church Road."

Can you imagine what is going through the robber's head now? I mean, to know it's over and you're fucked. To know that a few hours ago you were not in this predicament and that one decision has placed your entire future in jeopardy? It sounds extremely heavy man. I wouldn't put it past the robber to kill people for no other reason than anger that they will get to go on living a normal life and he wont.

Hopefully nothing bad happens to any of the victims son.

Also, is this guy really a robber or is it just coincidence that he's holding hostages in a bank? WRAL claims he didn't demand any money....

could be a domestic situation...

2/10/2011 4:57:37 PM

He should have known they wouldn't take him seriously wearing a purple shirt and red pants

(I grew up in that area)

2/10/2011 5:06:16 PM

His tombstone will read. screwed killed by the town of Cary.

from this it seems it has nothing to do with money.

also, let me get this started in here...

if a citizen with CC was allowed to carry in a bank there is a chance this would be over by now...

seems stupid that you prevent someone qualified to carry a gun from coming in but will let someone who is not qualified make a visit.

2/10/2011 5:19:49 PM

I'm not sure I'd say they "let" him make a visit, but still a valid point. Good old NC laws...

[Edited on February 10, 2011 at 5:23 PM. Reason : spelling is hard...]

2/10/2011 5:23:05 PM

^that is my point...

2/10/2011 5:23:52 PM

It's still a private business, they could ban people from having guns on the premises anyway, correct?

2/10/2011 5:25:13 PM

sure, stick a sticker on the window. the bank robbers will see it and go to the bank next door without that doesn't have them

Suspect down no injuries to hostage. ERT/SWAT clearing building. Suspect down.

2/10/2011 6:12:20 PM

They sniped him?

2/10/2011 6:13:17 PM

guess so.

2/10/2011 6:15:00 PM

suspect down & detained. Hostage unharmed.

Bank has been cleared. there was one person hiding in bank that suspect did not know about.

unknown condition of suspect.

2/10/2011 6:15:09 PM

It takes a real fool to go outside in such a situation. Must have wanted to die. (All utter speculation son)


^ Good news!

I believe non lethal rounds were used to down suspect.

2/10/2011 6:15:52 PM

Now they can make sure he goes to trial!

2/10/2011 6:16:18 PM

WRAL just said he was fatally wounded

2/10/2011 6:16:20 PM

WRAL says he's dead, yep.

SNIPEY SNIPE.

This sucks. I wanted to see. Dead people and bullets flying into the bank.

Saab-it started as a robbery. So yes he wanted money.

yep

all the hostages would have been shot while you would be trying to play hero

2/10/2011 6:17:51 PM

Hostage takers don't get to leave w/ hostages. /thread

2/10/2011 6:18:57 PM

watching wral video online is a painful experience

can anyone find video of the guy getting shot, or walking outside

2/10/2011 6:19:05 PM

^^^ Or the robber would have been shot in the back by the CC permit holder, as he can't have eyes looking everywhere at all times. If more than one permit holder had been there it really would have been over quickly.

The thing that's funny is that people honestly think if you have a CC permit then you're just going to do some ridiculous stupid shit if anything ever happens, but evidence points to that not being the case.

2/10/2011 6:20:25 PM

Automatic gunfire could be anything. They love that term.

2/10/2011 6:20:51 PM

Boom. headshot?

2/10/2011 6:21:07 PM

News thinks all gunfire is automatic.

2/10/2011 6:21:07 PM
