Teacher Carjacked at Rifle Point in Auburn-Gresham

A South Side high school English teacher was carjacked at rifle-point when she arrived to work early Monday morning, CBS 2 Chicago reported.

The 29-year-old woman had arrived around 6 a.m. at Perspectives Middle Academy charter school near 81st and May Streets in Chicago’s Auburn-Gresham neighborhood.

A man approached the woman holding a rifle and demanded the keys to her car. The teacher handed him the keys and drove off. No one was injured.

Police are looking for a red 2008 Honda Accord with Illinois license plate N388884.

The charter school CEO Rhonda Hopps told CBS 2 that nothing like this has happened before.

“Nothing this extreme, no. I mean, this is a neighborhood where there is violence in the community, as you well know from tracking the information, but we have a lot of security here,” she said.

The school has turned over surveillance video from the parking lot to Chicago police.
