http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_Bank_RobberyFound this part interesting, "A fusillade of gunfire began, as many citizens who owned guns were now outside the bank, and many more had rushed to hardware stores for pistols and rifles."
Also interesting, "The robbers lurched out of the vehicle, brandishing their guns to commandeer a passing Oldsmobile driven by fourteen year old Woodrow Wilson Harris, who relinquished the car."
