(Makda Ghebreslassie/CBC News) Rebecca Khodak was working as a teller for the Royal Bank of Canada on Dec. 13, 2017 when a man walked in and held her hostage along with more than a dozen other people. Three-and-a-half years later, Khodak recounted the terrifying hour between when Ali Zaraeeneh, 25, walked into the bank waving a handgun and when officers from York Regional Police shot him and killed him. "My first thought was, who would pull a prank like that at a bank? That's one of the stupidest things you could do," Khodak told a coroner's inquest on Tuesday that's tasked with analyzing the circumstances surround Zaraeeneh's death. In particular, the inquest is concerned with the ways in which police handle scenarios involving people who are "emotionally disturbed."
