ABLE TO REOPEN. IT'S SO
SERIOUS. THANK YOU, BRIAN.
>> CAUGHT ON DOORBELL CAMERA.
A WOMAN SAYS 2 PEOPLE WEARING
MASKS BROKE INTO HER HOME.
SHE SAYS ONE OF THEM POINTED A
GUN AT HER. SHE'S ASKING FOR
HELP TO FIND THE 2 PEOPLE HERE
IN THIS VIDEO. WRAL. SEAN
GALLAGHER JOINS US NOW LIVE
FROM HARNETT COUNTY TONIGHT
WITH WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE
CRIME. SEAN.
>> WHATEVER THAT WOMAN TELLS ME
THAT THE MAN WHO KICKED IN HER
DOOR ACTUALLY HELD THE GUN TO
HER HEAD DEMANDING CASH.
THEY ONLY GOT AWAY WITH A
COUPLE OF BUCKS AND HER
MEDICATIONS, BUT A TERRIFYING
ORDEAL THAT HAD HER FEARING FOR
HER LIFE. EARLY THIS MORNING.
LINDA MARTIN WOKE UP TO THIS.
LIKE I WAS LIKE.
>> WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?
HER DOORBELL CAMERA CAPTURED IT
ALL WHEN THIS MAN KICKED HER
DOOR OPEN, BUSTING THE FREE 2
STRANGERS NOW INSIDE HER HOME.
BY THE TIME I GOT MY BEARINGS,
IT WAS A GUN IN MY FACE.
TELL ME TO GIVE HIM A MONEY.
MARTIN DOESN'T CARRY LARGE
AMOUNTS OF CASH ON OR I MEAN, I
HAD LIKE 7 OUT OF THEM. SHE
SAYS TO 2 PEOPLE TOOK SOME OF
HER PRESCRIPTION MEDS AND THE
LITTLE CASH HE HAD ON HER.
BUT JUST A WEEK AGO, SHE HAD
MUCH MORE TO LOSE. MARTIN SAYS
SHE TOOK OUT A LARGE CHUNK OF
MONEY TO PAY FOR AN UPCOMING
MOVE. GIVEN THE MONEY.
>> SO THINGS IT. WITH MONEY.
IT AND THEN IT WILL BUY CUSSING
ME OUT, CALLING ME NAMES AND
STUFF GAVE IT TO ME. I BELIEVE
IN THAT STUFF LIKE THAT.
SHE SAYS ONLY A FEW PEOPLE KNEW
THAT, THOUGH. BUT THIS MAN HAD
PERSONAL DETAILS KNOWING HER
GRANDSON TYPICALLY STAYS WITH
HER ON THE WEEKENDS WAS MY
GRANDSON. IT.
>> THEY HAD TO BE TARGETED
BECAUSE WHO WOULD KNOW MY
GRANDSON TO BE A?
BUT PEOPLE TO COME TO MY HOUSE.
IT'S WHY SHE'S MOVING OUT OF
HERE EARLY. SHE'S TERRIFIED TO
SPEND ANOTHER NIGHT IN THE
PLACE. SHE'S CALLED HOME FOR
THE LAST 30 YEARS. I DON'T
TRUST THAT THEY WON'T COME DAY.
MY LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT.
ANYTHING IN THE SOUTH.
AND MARTIN TELLS ME THAT 2
PEOPLE WERE IN AND OUT OF HER
HOUSE WITHIN 10 MINUTES.
BUT NOW THE INVESTIGATION IS IN
THE HANDS OF THE HARNETT COUNTY
SHERIFF WHO TELL ME THEY WON'T
BE RELEASING ANY NEW
INFORMATION UNTIL TOMORROW
