“..to nearby BB & Sales Gun store to acquire rifles to match the ones fired by the suspects..”
Nothing like the heat of a gunfight to decide it’s time to upgrade your weaponry. Did the cops pass the background check and California’s 10 day waiting period?
I was remodeling an apartment building across the street from the North Hollywood shootout... 6 months earlier. The cops had a chance to arrest those guys earlier when they were pulled over and saw all the weapons in the trunk. You think Cornpop was bad. Those guys were mean with a gun.
Interesting too that a car will not provide you with shelter. Well at least protection only near the engine. Almost every caliber (including 22 occasionally) penetrated the car chassis.
