BOISE - Police are working to figure out what happened during a bizarre string of events at a Boise massage parlor overnight.
Just after 3 a.m., someone tried to break into Tokyo Massage on Fairview Avenue near Orchard Street in Boise. The robber broke in through a window in a bathroom, according to police - and could not get further into the building because of a locked door.
The business owner called her husband who grabbed his gun and fired a shot as the robber tried to flee.
Officers say nothing was stolen, and no one was hurt in the botched robbery attempt.
Police say members of the community should call 911, and not take matters into their own hands.
Very little detail on the robber is available. Witnesses could only describe him as a "shadowy male figure."
If you have any information in the case, contact police.
