Neighbor shoots at robbers after threats of rape, murder
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. - Three suspects are in custody and a fourth hospitalized after a Lawrenceville neighbor fired back during a robbery.
On Monday, May 16 in the middle of the afternoon, a 39-year-old woman answered the door to her Lawrenceville home. Three men put a gun to her head and ordered her to lay down on the sofa and keep her head down.
On Friday, she spoke exclusively to 11Alive's LaTasha Givens.
Police say the men had already robbed another man just down the street on Cannonball Court.
