A robber with a heart

Robber lets cashier call 911 after she has heart pain
13/04/2007
A gunman robbing a store in Florida allowed the shop assistant to call for medical help and apologised after the woman said she might be having a heart attack.
However, he still took $15 and cigarettes, authorities said today.
The masked man entered a convenience store in Orlando last Saturday morning and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at 60-year-old Mary Parker, according to surveillance audio/video released last night.
He demanded access to the safe, but she said she did not have the keys.
She started hyperventilating and pleaded with the gunman for help.
“I’m probably going to have a heart attack,” Parker said.
“Oh my, ma’am, please do not have a heart attack. Please do not have a heart attack. Please don’t, ma’am,” he said.
The gunman let Parker call emergency services. She told the operator she was having a heart attack, but did not mention the robber.
Police said Parker was unharmed.
