No, I reported it to 911 as I saw it and they did not arrive till much later.
This is a wealthy town and I was surprised, but I guess their thinking was "let them rob and get away rather than kill everyine inside" - but that is only my guess.

"No, I reported it to 911 ..."

While it was in progress? And it took the police a half hour to respond? If that truly the case, which I completely doubt, you need a new police chief and police force...
