[A CA Guy]

Doesn't sound good at all. I remember I once reported a bank robbery about to happen (the hint being these gang looking guys in a high class neighborhood walking in with shot guns).
About 30 minutes later they responded! So I know it can get bad.

I can't believe your post is true at all... Most banks have civilian security guards and would prevent anyone with a shotgun coming into a bank... Second, most law enforcement will respond within minutes to a call of a crime in progress such as yours... What city and law enforcement agency in CA was this?
