Woman Hides In Closet From Stalker

When a 51-year-old woman informed a man she didn't want to be his girlfriend, he committed a series of disturbing acts. Several police reports chronicle the incidents, which include break-ins, vandalism and even assaults at the woman's workplace. One day she found her home broken into, a clock-radio destroyed and undergarments missing. Two days later, she heard breaking glass and called 9-1-1. The entire chilling incident was recorded on 9-1-1 audio. "I'm so scared," she told the operator, who advised her to lock herself in a bedroom. She hid in a closet with a 9mm pistol loaned to her by a friend. Police say the alleged stalker began kicking in the bedroom door. "What are you doing?" the woman screamed. "Stop it! Please stop it! Just stop it!" The man burst into the bedroom and began choking her. Gunshots rang out. The woman escaped while her assailant lay mortally wounded. The Times - Munster, IN
