The bar had just closed, and while his wife stood in the tavern’s doorway, lilly went out to start their car and warm it up. Suddenly a man appeared, shot lilly, and began rifling through his pockets. The robber then broke out one of the vehicle’s windows before reaching inside to steal a six-pack of beer. Ruth lilly stood frozen in the doorway, and the robber looked up and began to laugh before lena shineflew grabbed her and pulled her back inside to safety.Agency
