What's Happening?

(1 / 3)


On my way in this morning, traveling south on Milpitas Blvd., a motorcycle cop
passed me at a stop sign doing about 50 MPH.  As I approached the little mall
which is on the north west corner of Milpitas and Calaveras, I noticed him
pulling in through a red light.  As I turned right on Calaveras, there was a
police car stoped about 1/2 of the way up to the bridge.  The police officer
had his riffle out and was squatting behind the left rear fender with the gun
pointing in the general dirrection of the bank located below.

Is there a bank robery in progress or what?  Has anybody heard anything?

(Terribly curious to know whats going on)

Anybody who tries to rob a bank or ATM which is directly across the
street from the police headquarters deserves to be caught.


But, knowing how milpitas police operate, it was probably just
another of their friendly traffic stops.

The action that Brian mentioned this morning was just on the radio...
Seems somebody was waiting at the First Interstate Bank (my bank!) on
Milpitas Blvd this moring for the first available teller, who he handcuffed...
Then, once he realized that the PD was all around him, he used his shotgun
on himself... The bank will be closed today, while they clean up the mess.
