What is the scariest, most heart stopping thing that ever happened to you, that turned out ok in the end?
I walked in from work, turned on the news, and the caption was "shooting at local pet store, one dead" and my SO's car was parked in front of it. He had a crummy day at work and left a little early to get fish supplies. My phone rang right then, and the caller ID said Waldo Pets. I didn't know whether it was him telling me he was ok or someone calling me to ID a body. I was almost too terrified to answer. I answered, and it was him telling me he was ok, and it was the robber that was shot and killed. I think that may be the only time in my life I actually dropped to my knees.
The cashier was some kind of martial arts guy, the robber got sloppy with his gun handling, so given the opportunity, the cashier grabbed his gun and shot him. My SO said he turned around and there was a gun in his face telling him to give him the wallet. A family was in there in the back, and the father started demanding to know what was going on, like he was going to do something about it, and my SO, not being able to think of anything short of knocking this clown out, grabbed his toddler and ran to a set of back stairs that was once used to transport liquor fro one building to the other. Thankfully he shut up and ran after the kid. He could have gotten them all killed.
His fellow miscreant called the cops and said his buddy just got shot at the pet store. No charges were filed.
