A very similar thing happened to me last year.

There is a small PC store in the local shopping center.
It isn't usually open on Sunday but as I went by I saw that it was.
I went in and talked with a tech that I know well, had helped me on many occasions. he told me to bring my machine in on Monday and he would have a look.

Monday I went to the shop and found out that about 15 minutes after I left, the store was robbed and the tech was shot and wounded. Fortunately the gunman was a terrible shot, out of 3 shots at very close range he only hit my friend in the leg. He recovered almost completely, has a small limp.

The store owner did everything could to help my friend and that is why I only shop there.

It just shows that bad things can and do happen to almost anybody.
You try to put it out of your mind but it can be difficult.
