Three men in masks and black clothing fled in the midst of an attempted robbery after the victim’s screams drew a neighbor, according to Seattle police.
The victim told police she was in her home in the 14000 block of Midvale Avenue North around 8 a.m. on Monday when the three suspects forced their way in.
The woman said she began screaming and one of the suspects grabbed her, held a gun to her head, and threatened to kill her, police said. A neighbor heard the woman’s cries and entered the home to investigate. Police said the startled suspects fled without taking anything.
