Re: Suspects flee bank robbery, enter my office building to
I second that jumping frog. I know of at least one other person that would like to join as well! 
Awesome Msjboof1!
At least someone was prepared that day.

According to company policy we are not allowed to carry.Ericstac wrote:Just curious, we're you carrying?
RoyGBiv, I was thinking more along the lines if I were there and my floor was taken hostage. There was a good half hour since someone had last seen these guys. But in the scenario you mention unfortunately there wouldn't be much I could do.
Greetings jumping frog, nice to know there are some other good guys in the area!
Just this past week one of our employees came outside of his hotel at the Hyatt to find his rental on blocks.- Sat Dec 01, 2012 9:24 am

Suspects flee bank robbery, enter my office building to hide
Well folks the excitement has worn off by now and I wanted to share this for discussion and to remind everyone that holiday seasons generally bring out the crazies. Also you won't find this in the local news so I am unable to provide a link but this is what happened from my personal account.
Some bachground info, last week in the greenspoint area the restaurant just next door to us (jimmy g's) was robbed during the daytime so I've already been a little on edge. Then yesterday around 1:30pm the Omnibank at beltway 8 and imperial valley drive was robbed at gunpoint by two male suspects and a third was waiting in a getaway vehicle. The two robbery suspects fled the scene and seeked shelter in my 12 story office building (333 north Sam Houston parkway east). Just as this was happening I was returning from my lunch break, parked in the garage and was notified by building management about the robbery and that the suspects may still be in the area. So I rushed upstairs (9th floor), told everyone on my floor (small group, maybe 20 ppl) what was going on and not to leave our office. HPD arrives with dogs and finds one suspect hiding above the ceiling tiles in the bathroom of the 11th floor. Second suspect is detained just behind our behind hiding in some bushes. The third suspect wrecks the getaway car just down the street from our office. Thankfully no one was physically injured during all of this and the suspects took a ride courtesy of HPD.
My thoughts on this are that it could have turned into a nightmare. We're lucky these were just run of the mill, dumb bank robbers but what if it were a deranged person that took a floor, possibly my floor hostage?
