July 13, 1934 Tom was in the General Store waiting for the clerk when two armed robbers abruptly kicked the door open and pointed rifles at the customers.
They demanded everyone shut their mouths, put their hands up and don't move.
Everyone followed orders except Tom. He just held up his right arm. The men thought Tom was trying to be sneaky and reach for a gun.
Paranoid they shot him. Not realizing Tom's left arm was paralyzed from a previous gun shot. Tom survived.
True story.
Would of been easier to say "GET ON THE FLOOR!"
