I was debating if I was going to post this or not but I decided to in the end, and I will say every thing is ok now.
Well yesterday started off good and at about 2:30pm went off to the dentist office to get some work done. At about 3:40 something while my wife was in the chair and just got numbed up she heard screams and a man yelling. Being that she is getting sleepy eyed sitting there by her self she was rather disoriented and then saw a large man "gangster" looking who was walking around the office and came by and looked at her then walked off. My wife starts to realize something is off stands up and starts trying to assess the situation when she hears glass breaking and what sounded like the whole police force out side arriving with sirens blazing. She quickly grabbed the big needle that sitting on the stand next to her and dove under the little table and called home. I was just lying down to take a nap on the couch with my 5 year old on the couch playing on the laptop and my 2 year old down for his nap. I picked up the phone to my wife softly crying with fear in her voice telling me there is some man in the office yelling and trying to brake out the windows and she is stuck in the back office with no way to get out, she was terrified and wanted to call to tell me that she loved me and loved the kids. I told her we lover her to and be strong and I will call 911. So I cal 911 and tell them the situation and the dispatcher tells me that are already on the seen and asked if the man STILL had his gun and if he is inside. I told them she did not see the firearm and she thinks he broke out a window. I give them her cell number and they tell me they will take over. So now I am just waiting and all bad synaros (sp?) are running throw my mind and I keep trying to keep out flashes of the people that called off the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania and how they sounded just like my wife did. So after the longest 20 minutes of my life someone calls me back to say the man is caught and everyone is fine and no one got harmed (hostages). My wife calls me about 10 minutes later to say she loved me and after she talks with detectives she will be coming home.
When she gets home she sees me and the children and just completely breaks down and gives me a huge hug and squeezes the kids. After a lot of love you's she told me how the man posed as a PO when she was under the table calling for the "citizen to please come out". When she did she saw the man and he put her in a small examination room with a Family with a 10 year old and a new born. The Father put my wife behind him with his family putting him self between the man and them. By now the cops are calling in with a bull horn trying to get the man to come out and he was yelling the man left out the window and it was only pashents inside now, now buying it the cops keep telling him to come out. The man started to get very irritated and yelled at he cops "they will be sorry and he is not going anywhere". Then in Spanish told the father something that my wife guessed was to help him break the window. The father refused and sat back guarding his family and my wife. The man trying to brake out the sealed double pain windows but got no where. He then started pacing back and forth like a caged cat and starting to get more phicaly mad. The situation does not look good and all the hostages are getting more worried. The man then trying to break the window one last time but this time when he put both arms back to swing the father jumped him getting both arms pinned behind his back and getting the assailant to the floor. As my wife tells it almost as fast as the father got him to the floor 10 PO's rush in and jump the man and (being that someone might read this who I do not intend to) used needed force on the assailant with a few tasers to get him compliant. They then escorted everyone out and that was the end of it.
I called the watch commander and gave him a big thank you and I am trying to find out the fathers name to give him a thank you for being my hero gift. I guess he does not speak English very well so I will have to get "thank you for being my hero" translated for me. :D
Life goes on and I am taking the wife with me to the range ASAP so she can get to know the house 75B more intimately if the occasion ever arises.
Here is an news artical about it, they don't really even say anything about the people inside the office.
