Break the Rules but you’re about to start the North Hollywood Shootout

The North Hollywood shootout was a confrontation between two heavily armed and armored bank robbers, Larry Phillips Jr. and Emil Mătăsăreanu, and police officers in the North Hollywood district of Los Angeles on February 28, 1997. Both robbers perished, twelve police officers and eight civilians were injured, and numerous vehicles and other property were damaged or destroyed by the nearly 2,000 rounds of ammunition fired by the robbers and police. At 9:16 a.m., Phillips and Mătăsăreanu entered and robbed Bank of America’s North branch. The robbers were confronted by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers when they exited the bank and a shootout between the officers and robbers ensued. The robbers attempted to flee the scene, Phillips on foot and Mătăsăreanu in their getaway vehicle, while continuing to exchange fire with the officers. The battle continued onto a residential street adjacent to the bank until Phillips, mortally wounded, fell; Mătăsăreanu was incapacitated by officers three blocks away and bled-out before the arrival of paramedics more than an hour later. - Discord - Massive thank you to Patreons that have stuck around all this time and the new ones too!
