In this article, A 50 year old woman was getting her hair done when a man burst into the salon to rob the place. 19 year old Winston Cox burst into a salon called Sabine's Hallway beauty salon on Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn and demanded cash and belongings from the customers. A 50 year old off duty cop was getting her hair done at the time of the incident and decided to resolve the issue at hand. She told him to drop the gun and that she was a police officer. Cox fired a shot at her and missed. The off duty officer returned fire and shot cox in the right arm and thigh. Cox took off on foot. Nobody else was injured.
Way to go chick! All I gotta say is that she was a very brace lady to have handled the situation successfully. It's never a good outcome when there is somebody robbing the store that your in with a gun. I'm just glad that he missed her when he took a shot at her. She could have been seriously injured. I don't think I could be a cop let alone save a bunch of people in a salon from an armed robber. That chick had some girl power. I'm just shocked that a woman that was 50 years old saved everybody in that salon from a 19 year old idiot with a gun. Granny got skillz! I can just imagine some old lady with curlers in her hair and a gun saying "Drop your gun and get on the ground!" It's good to know that there are people like that out there though. I bet everybody in that salon was thankful that she was getting her hair done that night! I'm glad that she's getting the recognition that she deserves for her act of bravery in that kind of a situation. Brooklyn must be proud to have her as part of their team!
I know this post shouldn't be funny but I had to laugh out loud when I read the robber tried to shoot the woman and missed. Most salons in Brooklyn are NOT that big!!! What an idiot! It sounds like all the odds were against him from the second he came up with this HAIR brained idea!!!!! Picking a salon with a cop in it and then missing her and being shot at himself!!! He'll get caught.....it's just a matter of time!
ReplyDeletePS--- I like the new picture of you and Macy..she's a doll!!!
Wow, I don't understand how you could miss someone that close unless you don't have the practice in which case is stupid on your part. I'm glad that he did miss though because that would have been very bad if she did get shot. I'm happy that she was in there and handled the situation the way she did. I know that people always say if you were in a situation like that what would you do and the typical answer is to be the hero but the truth is that when it's actually happening most people don't do anything.
ReplyDeleteCrazy! I never thought of a salon getting robbed but the prices they charge, it makes sense. I'm sure that will be talked about for years to come. Thank goodness the off duty cop was there to take that guy on and probabily saved everyones life. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteHaHaa, granny with a gun. This is a pretty amazing story. First of all how much money did this idiot think that he was going to get from a salon. Second, if he is going to rob places with a gun maybe he should learn to shoot. Good article.
