He allegedly waved a gun around and demanded money, according to police. When he was told the money was in a safe and that the manager who knew how to open it was not there, the suspect had a brilliant idea; at least he thought it was brilliant. He gave the shop employees his cell phone number and asked them to call him when the manager arrived so he could open the safe for him. He left and the employees opted to call 911. Authorities stationed plain clothes officers in the shop and called the would-be robber back. Zarate, showed up again, and waved his gun around again, but this time was shot in the leg by an officer.<< <a href="http://www.wbbm780.com/pages/1882912.php" target="_blank">http://www.wbbm780.com/pages/1 882912.php</a>

I know this is the kind of story that you read about online from time to time, but it actually happened to someone I know.
