Never boring

Today again was a day like I am told can only happen to me. I went to Wingers in Bountiful with my mom. Our waitress took our drink order, a minute lator people were running to the window. I looked out the window expecting to see a fire or something big, and saw flashing lights. We asked and apparently the waitress had walked back as an armed robber walked in. Got the money traumatizing many, left and shot at a cook sometime in the process me not knowing anything. They walked in right behind us, and I missed them completely, luckily, and although facing where they stood, I hadn't looked up in time to see them, and my hearing helped since I heard nothing. I am so glad for my broken hearing aid today. One hearing aid wasn't enough to hear the shot, or know to look up. A few tables from the two men and I didn't know anything was happening till people were running. There were so many people who were traumatized, and upset, I wasn't having known nothing until the police had arrived. The poor people trying to get inside inbetween had the waitress trying to tell them through the locked double doors to leave, and we were stuck until they had found out a little, but the police had to have surrounded the area, and all the stops within minutes. They were amazing how quickly they had everything secured. No one was hurt, least of all me who didn't know anything had happened at all, and they walked away with little money, I hope that will deture future theives.

I feel very blessed to have been so clueless, and been so close without being involved at all. I worry about the many who were crying and shaking so, I have been in enough spots like that to feel so for them, I just felt like hugging a few who just looked beyond scared, and was glad they were hugging each other, and all being so supportive. When I go back in a few days, which I will, I hope that they will look as though they are hanging in there ok. I really like a lot of who work there, and will be thinking about them and hoping they can feel safe at work soon.
It hasn't shown up on the news as far as I can see, but I would think it will be soon, and may post that.



Just made the news today, apparently a Chuck a Rama was robbed in SLC 40 minutes earlier by what seems like the same two men.
