1997 North Hollywood Shootout pt.1
The famous Bank of America robbery
North Hollywood shootout was an armed confrontation between two heavily-armed and armored bank robbers Larry Eugene Phillips Jr & Emil Dechebal Matasareanu and patrol and SWAT officers of the LAPD on February 28 1997 at a Bank of America teler-office
Two suspects were killed and 15 people were injured, including 10 policemen. None of the injuries incurred during the hour-long shootout was "life threatening,"
Los Angeles Police Chief Willie Williams said.
Although only the suspects were killed,
the sheer number of injuries made this one of the bloodiest single cases of violent crime in the 1990's and one of the most significant single bank robberies of the 20th century
