I was beginning to wonder when I'd hear from you. [A sigh.] Same old, with a little 'bad morning' thrown in. The Great Clown Robbery is hot news, apparently, and the damn phone hasn't stopped ringing since I got in.
As for what I know, well, here we go. At 3:57 five armed men wearing clown masks entered the bank, and proceeded to line up everyone inside against the windows. One of the security guards, Charles Walton, also appears to have been involved. Grenades were handed out to hostages, and shots were fired when an attempted rebellion took place.
Sometime after 4pm, two clowns exited with another hostage while the other three stayed behind. Two were shot and killed, along with the security guard, by the one called The Joker. He took off his mask, revealing make-up and scars beneath, and left. I'm sure you know how it goes from there. Also, a bomb was left behind, but it never detonated. Probably just a distraction - but there was a bomb in one of the cars that exploded about an hour later, give or take.
