ZERT Coffee & Chaos 105 – North Hollywood Shootout

February 28th, 1997 was a wild day in North Hollywood when two suspects decided to rob their 3rd bank in just over a year.  These two had gotten away with robbing 2 Bank of America’s in 1996 with heavy weapons and made off with over $1.5 million dollars.  As luck would have it, 3rd time was not a charm for these two on that day.  Having been spotted going into the bank and hearing gun shots the call was made to alert LAPD.  Within the 8 minutes the two were in the bank, more than 300 officers were ready for their exit.  Join us on today’s show to explore the next 44 minutes and what happened on that day.
