I was just leaving a gun store (ironically) in Fayetteville, NC when I saw two guys running at high speed across the road. The pursuer was pointing at the guy in the lead. I was just driving past them, when 10-15 feet from my car the second guy pulls a large semi-auto pistol and is pointing it at the first guy. This all happened in seconds and I floored it to be away from any potential stray bullets. Two blocks away I call 911, apparently the first call. As more calls came in to 911, the 911 operator said it was a store robbery and the guy with the gun was the robbery victim.
Seems to me the guy with the gun would be on dangerous grounds pursuing a robbery suspect for a few blocks. I was also surprised when I drove past that area again 10 minutes later that there were only two cops there, casually talking with 3 other people. I thought the place would be crawling with cops. This is in the shopping hub of the city and next to a big gun store (Jim's). I don't know - maybe they got there quickly and the bad guy was already in cuffs.
It was interesting how quickly it all happened, it seemed kind of surreal and does take a few seconds to process what is happening.
