Man announces bank robbery next to La Salle’s campus, security guard responds: ‘not today’
Philadelphia PA May 19 2018 A security guard stopped an attempted bank robbery next to La Salle University’s campus this week with two simple words: “Not today.”
The university detailed the series of events in a safety advisory to its student body, which later made the rounds on social media.
Shortly before noon Tuesday, a suspect came into the Beneficial Bank at the Shoppes at La Salle, which a La Salle spokesperson said are owned by the university, at 5301 Chew Ave. He proclaimed, “This is a robbery.”
The security guard on duty retorted, “Not today,” before escorting the suspect from the building, according to advisory.
The guard’s witty comeback to the would-be robber hasn’t gone unnoticed.
“The hero La Salle needs but doesn’t deserve,” remarked one Twitter user, while another said, “you can’s make this up.
