Today at lunch time I took a break from work to run up the street to the post office to mail something out. When I pulled into the post office there was another person there who was parked out front and heading inside. I parked to her left, in front of the silver mailboxes. I was behind her in line once inside the post office.  She left once done and I was being helped when suddenly me and the Post Master heard someone screaming outside and yelling “call 911!” It was the lady who had left and she was running back inside the post office.
