But then, she said, two men armed with handguns came from the back of the home. She said she immediately started begging for her life, asking them not to shoot her. One man did fire his gun, though, shooting into the air.

They grabbed her belongings, as well as the pizza, then made a dash for her car. The young boy went along with them, she told 11 Alive.
When police finally found Miles' car, it was stripped down and trashed, the station reported. Atlanta Police are still seeking the suspects in the case.
Meanwhile, Miles told WXIA she has trouble sleeping.
:When I do get to sleep, the first thing I see is this person holding the gun with the ski mask over his face pointing a gun at me like 'get on the ground,' " she said.
