The Manhunt
According to KSN, neighbors of the young girl are still upset by the news that she was attacked inside her home in the middle of the night. It doesn’t help that the police has not revealed too much information about the case, only the description, what the suspect did, and that he is still at large.
One neighbor said that following the attack, the area doesn’t feel as safe anymore. They never thought that something like this would happen, noting that kids are playing outside all the time.
She recalls the mother of the child knocking on her door frantically in the middle of the night asking to borrow her phone. She told her something horrible happened at her house and she needed the police immediately.
The police have not revealed how the suspect gained entry into the apartment, but neighbors explained that they felt like buying “extra locks” to keep themselves safe in the middle of the night.
The police will continue to follow any lead they receive and feel confident that, in time, they will apprehend the attacker.
The local hospital listed the young girl in stable condition.
