FoBoGro Robbed at Gun Point

I was sitting in my basement watching King of Kong when I heard a woman yelling “STOP THAT MAN!  STOP HIM!”  I ran to my front door but when got outside, I couldn’t figure out what was going on. But then I found out:

At about 1:35 p.m., a black male, described by witnesses as in his thirties, attached a note to the door reading “Be Back in 10 Minutes” before placing a handgun on the counter and demanding money, said Metropolitan Police Department Sergeant John Mitchell.

Jaime Molinelli, a veterinarian who lives in Baltimore, Md., said she heard the Foggy Bottom Grocery owner Meseret Bekel shouting from her shop’s door.

“I heard her screaming and I looked at him and said, ‘Hey, you!’ and he started running,” Molinelli said. “So I chased after him.”

This is crazy.  I live a half-block from Foggy Bottom Grocery and it just serves as a reminder that we live in a dangerous, dangerous city.  If you ever see a sign “Be Back in Ten Minutes” on my town house, come save me!
