She described the criminals donning black ski masks and gloves. The woman sought safety in a witness’s garage, but the men still haven’t been found by police.
“The car backed up and her reaction and my reaction was like, ‘oh my gosh, something’s getting ready to happen,’” Laura Slavney, a neighbor who witnessed the attempt, told Fox 13.
“I barely saw the door open but it was the fact that the car backed up, she turned around and started just screaming, like ‘no, no, no, no’ and then I knew exactly what was getting ready to happen,” Slavney added. “She was walking her dog so it was just so random. So yeah, it was scary.”Click here to follow KWAM on Twitter.
