Yesterday started off as all other school days do. Kids up, kids dressed, lunches packed. Kids to school, mom to gym. Home. Once I got home, my cell phone started dinging txt messages at me. The first one I got said "The Sheriff's Department has placed your school under precautionary lockdown. More information to follow."
What!!??!!
I called the kids school and they had no clue what the text was regarding. We figured it must be for Woodland Hills. I turned on the news, made some phone calls and found that something unusual had occurred in our not-so-little cow town.
About 10:00 am, an iHop employee was leaving the staff entrance to take the deposit to the bank. Some Goober (possibly and ex-employee) robbed the iHop guy at gun point. He hit the employee on the back of the head with the gun and shoved him into the garbage container area in the parking lot. Cue school lockdown. The Sheriff's Dept placed close to 10 schools on lockdown due to the fact that the Goober was armed, violent, and had disappeared. The kids were locked in (parents out) for roughly 1 1/2 hours. The lockdown was called off at 11:20 am. However, Goober is still at large.
I watched the local news last night to see if any developments have been made in the case. I had to laugh. Welcome to small town newscasts. The report was that they had not caught the guy but they were sure they could find him if only they had video surveillance. Ya think?
What about iHop says "get-rich-quick" to you? Anyhow, in the mean time, I am sure that our goober is enjoying his new-found wealth. Don't spend it all in one place!
**UPDATE**
They caught the guy! Get this, the robber was the victim! Who would've thought! What a GOOBER!
