CRIME ALERT: 12South Gunpoint Mugging

From the 12South email list:

At 11am on October 17th, a female was held up at gunpoint on 12th Ave. between Gale and Clayton, right in front of Sevier Park. She was walking on the sidewalk when a gray, older model Toyota Camry pulled up beside her. Two black males, mid 20s, were in the car, and the passenger pulled a gun on her, demanding her purse and telling her to not run away. She dropped her purse and ran, and was lucky enough to wave down a driver who helped her call the police. She filed a police report, and the officer expressed his surprise that this would happen in our neighborhood in broad daylight.
