Violent crime is rising against seniors and women, and authorities are urging residents to carry a simple new safety device that can thwart even the most vicious of attackers.
It was supposed to be a normal day of shopping for 76-year-old Donna Mason, but instead, her shopping trip took a terrifying turn.
“I was walking to my car, which was parked pretty close to the store” she remembers, “but I had an odd feeling – like I was being watched.”
Her instincts were spot on – she was being watched.
And targeted. In the middle of the day, no less.
Right when she was unlocking her car, a man came up behind her and tried to grab her.
