Via KTRK-13’s Gene Apodaca, we can add to our list of times/places/behaviors Chief Hurtt would encourage us to avoid in Houston:
Some neighbors are on edge after two men tried to abduct a woman at gunpoint, in the middle of the afternoon from a grocery store in the River Oaks area.
The attempted abduction happened Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of the Rice Epicurean market on Westheimer near Willowick.
At the Rice Epicurean market, customers are shocked. Few can imagine a crime so dangerous happening right where they shop.
The incident happened Tuesday around 1pm. Authorities say a woman had just pulled into the parking lot and was getting out of her car when two men grabbed her. One of those men was holding a gun.
Authorities say the woman fell to the ground and began yelling. That’s when witnesses came to her aid, scaring the suspects off.
Be sure to add “Tuesday afternoons, River Oaks area, grocery shopping” to your list of dangerous time/place/behavior situations to avoid if you don’t want to become a victim of violent crime.
