Good Samaritans
As Julie faked the attack, a nearby couple noticed her and ran towards her for help. The plan was working. The moment the couple touched her hand she handed over the note to them and it was then the couple read the life-threatening letter they understood the whole story.
The Trick Worked
Faking the seizures helped Julie and she was able to attract the fellow passengers and it was this one couple who came to help her. The train stopped at the Civic Center station and the robber who wrote the note exited the train in the first moment he got. Does this mean Julie was safe now?
A Scam
It was found that there was no gun and there was no one shooting Julie. The note was a dirty trick to get some money from the passengers as the word gun can make anybody sweat for life. The authorities of the Civic Center station searched for the robber but they couldn’t find one.
On Camera
Though authorities found no proof of the woman, they did see her on the BART’s cameras. Still, Julie had no interest in the woman’s arrest because now she was safe. She didn’t even press charges and all she wanted to leave the incident somewhere back in her mind. But after this incident, she has become more vigilant.
Viral Story
She took over the incident on Twitter telling the world about the incident that changed her life forever. “Someone just tried to rob me ‘at gunpoint’ on BART. They sat behind me and dropped this note into my lap.” Later, she even told where she got the seizure idea from.
