Madison Police Chief Mike Koval says the 56-year-old victim of the Culver's armed robbery was "scared to death."
"Blood money, that someone would not allow basic first aid, not call 9-1-1 because you [the robbers] were after helping yourself to more money,"Chief Mike Koval said during the 2:30 p.m. press conference.
Police says one of the four contractors died following medical distress during the armed robbery. Chief Mike Koval believes this was a 'planned choreographed' incident instead of a 'happen-stance opportunity.' Madison's top cop says they are casting a wide-net to find the suspects.
