Victims fight back in armed robberies
Two armed robberies were foiled within minutes of each other last week when the women being held up challenged masked gunmen, according to police.
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho —
Two armed robberies were foiled within minutes of each other last week when the women being held up challenged masked gunmen, according to police.
In the first incident, a masked gunman confronted a woman getting out of her car at her home after 10 p.m. Thursday, grabbing the driver's door as it opened and snatching a bank bag. The woman said she "screamed and kicked him hard" and he fell, dropped the bag and ran away.
Twelve minutes later and about two miles away, a gunman demanded money from a clerk at a Dollar Tree store. The manager grabbed the gun and the robber fled, police said.
