Woman, 74, Pistol Whipped In Skyway Home Invasion Robbery
The home invasion happened on Wednesday afternoon and was caught on camera.
SKYWAY, WA - A 74-year-old woman was pistol-whipped in the Skyway area during a home invasion on Wednesday afternoon. Three men kicked in the back door of her home along 59th Avenue South around 1 p.m., according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
Once inside, one of the men hit the woman with a handgun and held her mouth shut so she couldn't scream, King County Sheriff's Sgt. Cindi West said in a press release. The other two men rifled through the woman's home. They grabbed cash and jewelry before fleeing.
This is the second time the woman has been the victim of crime. Her home was burglarized last month, and police believe the same suspects might be involved.
