Each year around this time, Shan Dan Horanâs thoughts naturally turn to, well, Taco Bell.
No, heâs not hankering for a toasted cheddar chalupa, per se. Heâs thinking back to 20 years ago when, as a 16-year-old saving for college and for equipment for his band, he was working the drive-thru window at a Flagstaff Taco Bell.
Near closing time, two masked men entered, toting guns. One robbed the safe, and the other kept the barrel of a gun pressed against Horanâs temple throughout. The traumatic episode made quite an impression on the teenager, and its memories stuck with him in the years since, rearing up seemingly unbidden every Dec. 14, the anniversary of the robbery.
