Words and pix about the armed robbery-hostage at Wendy's. Then ask yourself if "start protecting & serving the public" is what happened inside that Wendy's?
Employee Recalls Terror of Shootings: http://www.wowt.com/home/headlines/Employee-Recalls-Terror-of-Shootings-272950431.html
Roxy Galloway knows the terror of Tuesday night’s shootings firsthand. She is the Wendy’s employee the robber confronted with the gun.
The young woman had just come back from maternity leave.
She is still confused about what she saw and heard and told us, “It just felt surreal. It almost felt like I was watching a TV show. It didn't feel like I was actually experiencing it."
She paints a picture going beyond the crime scene tape and flashing lights.
“There's a chance that I couldn't have come home to my family or my daughter, knowing that my one-month-old daughter could have been mom-less."

Roxy Galloway, an employee at Wendy’s, remembers the smoke and the sounds the most.
She said she had been preparing to lock the lobby when Washington came in with his nose and mouth covered by a bandanna. She thought he was joking, until he pulled out a gun and pointed it at her, telling her to put all the money from the drive-thru and the front registers in the bag. It was while she was taking money from the front register that police came in and saw the gun pointed at her, she said.
“There was a bunch of yelling. I heard the bang. (Washington) was about a foot away from me when it started,” Galloway, 21, said. “It was really loud. It sounded like a real gun. I couldn’t even tell the difference between officers’ guns and his gun.
“It was pretty much a hostage situation. The gun was pointed at me.”
