It was supposed to be a normal day. You were supposed to just go to the store and come back home, right?

You found yourself held tight, a gun pressed tight to your head. The basket of groceries you held was now on the floor and all the items were strewn around. You stayed silent and complied as the person yelled threats in your ear.

When the police arrived, you saw an older officer trying to deescalate the situation. He noticed your fearful eyes and the way that the criminal held you.

"Let go of the civilian and drop your weapon."
