The sound of breaking glass changed everything. Within seconds people came running from the gas station next door, a nearby tire shop, and a small diner across the highway. Several bystanders immediately called 911 again, reporting the broken window and explaining that something serious appeared to be happening inside the store. I stayed outside the…
