CO:Woman has Gunfight with Intruders who Steal her SUV
Gun Watch ^ | 28 August, 2014 | Dean Weingarten

An armed woman in Denver chased two intruders from her home, only to have them drive off in her SUV.  From kdvr.com:

About 2:30 a.m., two burglars broke into a woman’s home, then stole her blue Toyota Highlander, last seen going east on Exposition Avenue.

She got in a gunfight with the intruders as they took the vehicle.  From cbslocal.com:

The woman apparently got scared and fired at them while they were still outside.

“Obviously she felt threatened so she took some measures,” said Sonny Jackson, Denver police spokesman.

The suspects fired back, and one of the bullets ended up hitting a neighbor’s SUV and smashing the back windshield.
 

 From kwgn.com:
 Marquies Jackson was a suspect in the incident, in which two people reportedly broke into a home in the 7000 block of East Exposition Avenue about 2:30 a.m. Monday morning, the Denver Police Department said.
I suspect that Marquies is still a suspect.  Marquies is 18 years old.   The blue Toyota Highlander has not yet been recovered.

Probably overhunted the other areas and needed a new area with fresh prey.

That doesn’t look like the back window of a Highlander.

It is not a Highlander. It is her neighbor’s SUV.

DU is a safe area. Of course, like any urban campus, students need to keep their street smarts about them.

And that, boys and girls, is why it's nice to have friends who wear badges.

As long as insurance companies would cover the car, the ad by Volkswagen showing the car surviving a suicide bomber who accidentally triggered his vest comes to mind. Of course we know that wouldn’t happen. But bait cars have been used before.

West Denver is safer in several ways than East Denver and Aurora.
