Woman wakes to unknown man standing over her with gun

The incident reportedly occurred around 1:35 a.m. Saturday May 28, 2016 in the 20000 block of Mrs Catherine Lane, as a 28-year-old female was sleeping in the living room with her three sons, ages 9, 8, and 5. Police say, the female woke to an unknown black male standing over her armed with an unknown type handgun. According to authorities, the male ordered her to go into another room, but the victim refused and at that time one of her sons woke up and she screamed for him to run out of the house. This startled the intruder who then fled out of the front door of the residence in an unknown direction without taking anything. The female and her three sons were uninjured in the incident.

Police described the suspect as a black male, 5’05”-5’08” tall, 140-160 lbs., with black hair, wearing all black clothing and a mask covering his face.
