Woman taken from Oak Lawn home at gunpoint, forced to withdraw cash from ATM


This is a case in point that if this woman had a self defense weapon or weapons in her home, things might have been very different. Two attackers and two defenders, this could have been so different.

Woman taken from Oak Lawn home at gunpoint, forced to withdraw cash from ATM: "

A Dallas woman says she is not sure she'll ever go back to her Oak Lawn condo after a gunman took her from her bedroom Saturday night and forced her to withdraw cash from an ATM.



A second man held the woman's friend at the condo in the 2700 block of Hood Street near Oak Lawn Avenue and Cedar Springs Road, where he threatened to kill her if she did not cooperate. The women asked that their names be withheld out of concern for their safety.



The woman who was kidnapped said she had gotten into bed about 11 p.m. and her friend stepped outside to get something out of her car. That's when two men approached and forced the friend inside.



The man with the gun came into the condo owner's bedroom.



'I look up and there is a ... man walking in my bedroom with a gun pointed at my face telling me they have my friend downstairs and they want money,' she said.
