Picture
walking into your favorite fast food restaurant late at night for a
midnight |
snack,
and having it almost become your final meal. This was the case for
customers of |
the
Burger Boy located at 1125 Gorham Avenue. |
It's
reported that just before the closing of the Burger Boy two suspects,
described |
as
white males, in their mid 20s, wearing black or gray trench coats,
approached the |
register
and pulled guns from under their coats. The first suspect ordered the
present two |
customers
and six employers to lay down, with the exception of the cashier, who
was |
being
ordered by the second suspect to put all the money from the registers
into a bag. |
After
bagging the money the two gunmen continued to terrorize the victims
inside. The |
gunmen
walked around taunting them with threats to kill them, and held their
guns to the |
back
of victim's heads, says Sgt. Wilbur Keflchen. The taunting continued for
20 minutes |
before
they would leave the Burger Boy and drive off. |
After
the men had driven off the cashier made the call to 911. At 12:50,
almost an |
hour
after the men entered the Burger Boy, several police and squad cars
arrived at the |
scene.
Sgt. Keflchen reports the weapons held by the gunmen appear to have been
sawed |
off
shotguns. Thankfully there were no injuries to any of the eight people
inside. The |
money
taken is an undetermined amount, but the value of those victim's lives
is priceless. |
It's
a shame that now-a-days you have to think twice before going out for a
midnight snack, but this story is enough to make you lose your
appetite. |
