Terrifying Pizza Order: Gunman’s Bizarre Demand Shocks Hostages and Police
“Plus, with all that hot sauce, he’ll definitely get heartburn,” Klein added. “Please, somebody help him. I don’t want him to get sick.”
Outside, SWAT team negotiators used a megaphone to remind the gunman that he was ordering for a large group, so at the very least it was polite to get a few assorted sides like mozzarella sticks, garlic bread, or a salad for his pickiest captives.
One hostage, who managed to escape through a back door, described a chaotic scene in which the group’s captor brashly refused to consider their tastes when ordering a 2-liter bottle of Crush grape soda rather than a more traditional Pepsi or Sprite, telling everyone to simply “trust him” when he was urged to rethink things.
“At first I was scared, and I didn’t want to try the pizza at all,” said First National Bank teller Alan Walters, adding that he hid in a closet until the gunman kicked down the door and demanded he try a bite. “I tried to say no, but he told me it was his favorite pizza on the menu and threatened to kill me if I didn’t have a little. Eventually, I took a bite and loved it.”
“Where has this pizza been all my life?” Walters continued. “Thank goodness I made it out alive and can order it again.”
At press time, the hostages had reportedly risen up and killed the gunman after he promised to order them another novelty pizza called the “Mac Attack,” which features a large scoop of mac and cheese on top.
