People who have been held at gunpoint: why? What was the outcome?

Late to the party, but this is a doozy I'll never forget.

Leaving the bar at 3 am, me , my husband and best friend stopped at a gas station to get cigarettes.

I offered to go in leaving them in the SUV by the front door. By the door were two kids with bicycles laying on the ground. One was pissing a few feet from the door. I glanced in his direction and this prompted him to acknowledge me with a slew of sexual comments. My husband in earshot of this asked him what he had just said to me.

I ignored this exchange and went inside. Standing at the counter I looked over to see one of the kids ( 18ish?) leaning into the passenger door. I walked outside to see what was going on to find a sawed off shotgun pointed at my husband's head.

Before I had time to react the kid turned to me and pushed me to the ground and snatched the wallet from my hand. My husband jumped out of the SUV wrangling the gun from the kids hand and pointed the shotgun at the kids head. Kid said "guns not loaded bitch" , my husband pulled the trigger, sure enough not loaded. So he proceeded to beat the shit out of the kid with his own gun. This kid now being beaten by my husband dropped my wallet , the other kid standing by grabbed it and ran off.

I started chasing him down the main road but was in heels at the time so he made a good lead on me. I almost lost sight of him when a guy in a pickup came behind me. I flagged him down and jumped in without hesitation telling him to follow the kid running through a park behind the gas station.

Pickup guy was perplexed and rightly so. I told him I was just mugged and the kid had my wallet. So he gunned it through the park grass lawn where we lost sight of him.

Police show up. Mugger is laying in gas station parking lot beat to shit. Husband is now in the middle of the main road by the park, on his knees hands in the air holding the bloody gun in his hands above his head to show he is surrendering.

We sort that shit out quickly and I point to the direction where the kid ran off with my wallet to the cops.

Police dog is brought in and finally finds this kid hiding in a bush. The dog pulls him out by his asscheecks. Kid threatens police dog in the process. Wallet is retrieved with all my money , covered in blood from the dog biting the thiefs ass. 45 stitches required if memory serves me correctly.

Outcome:

The aggressor who pulled the gun had an insane rap sheet. Was on probation at the time. Spent 8 years in prison.

Kid who took off with my wallet, 3 years. He had received additional time for threatening a police dog.

Pickup guy was thanked for his help.

I quit smoking.
