Seattle police say an 83-year-old woman was assaulted and robbed in her South Seattle home on Wednesday.
The investigation indicates the 83-year-old woman was alone in her home in the 4900 block of 28th Avenue South when the three suspects, described as black males armed with handguns and wearing ski masks, forced entry into her home through the front door.
The suspects reportedly held guns to the woman’s head and chest and dragged her around the house demanding money. Police say the woman handed over some cash and the suspects took some jewelry and other personal items.
The woman told police at least one shot was fired during the incident, but police could not conclusively determine any gunshots were fired.
Following the incident, the woman fled to a neighbor’s house to call 911. K-9 units and police responded, but were not able to locate the suspects.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the Seattle Police Robbery Unit at (206) 684-5535.
