Ch 11 Exercise 3
Police are still searching for a suspect who attempted to rob a woman yesterday afternoon around 4 p.m. in the parking lot of a convenience store on Bonneville Drive.
Michele Schipper, a sophomore at Anoka Ramsey Community College pulled up to the side of the store, where a man came out from behind the dumpster area and approached her demanding her purse. As Schipper reached into her car to retrieve the purse, she could see the man approaching more closely and immediately turned around and kicked him. As he fell to the ground, she then kicked him in the face allowing her to quickly climb back into the car to drive away to a motel down the road to call the police.
The police took any information Schipper could offer in describing the man, recalling he stood about 6ft, and stated there were no witnesses around as well. Luckily no weapons were involved.
Schipper says "it just came instinctively" in how she responded. She had had some training around the house with her father about self defense.
I really like that this story is true. It would probably be better to say that she could not identify the man. But I might be wrong and you can do whatever you want.
