Shoot Out in San Ignacio

I stepped off the bus and was standing 20 feet from this when I got to San Ignacio 2 days ago.
I was standing there reading my guidebook looking for a place to stay when I heard what I thought was a car about to blow up.  Whe I saw people running I turned around and realized that there was no one between the Coca Cola Securitry guard and the guiys trying to steal 5 bags of money shooting at each other.  Gladly, my natural reaction was to run and hide like a in a store behind an washing machine that was for sale.  My friend David the tour guide likes to tell everyone the story "Welcome to San Ignacio".  I felt like I was in a movie and at one point thoughtit was normal for this part of the world.  I thought it was a revolutionary or something.  Nope, just some slackers with a busted plan.
story below.  I heard this from everyone in town even though I was closer than almost anyone.
