Store Owner Shoots Armed Thieves, Gets Bored Waiting For No-Show Police, Goes Home

Pepe’s Grocery store in Dallas, Texas had a close encounter with a group of four armed robbers on Sunday night. Luckily, store manager Joe Cho of Korea was able to take matters into his own hands.

Cho immediately phoned police and fired two shots from his .38 to scare off the thieves. At least one of the bullets struck his target – the four armed criminals fled, leaving a trail of blood behind them. Cho was left to wait for the police to arrive. And so he waited, and waited, and waited.

Cho sat around for 20 minutes waiting for the police before he finally decided to lock up and go home. Officers arrived at the store 75 minutes after Cho originally phoned the police.

In an ironic twist, police then phoned Cho and asked him to come to the scene of the crime. An angry Cho later told reporters, "I'm at home safe, everything, I relax right now. Then you call me about an hour something later, you want me to come back over here." He added, “Twenty minutes. What the hell.”
