Robbed at the Mall

by Charity

It was November 10, 1996. My family and I were doing some last minute shopping at the Dimond Mall, one of the biggest malls in Anchorage. We were parked three cars from the back entrance. A small white compact pulled up and the guy in the front seat said to my mom, "Hey lady, give me your purse." Then the back door opened and a guy with a gun stepped out. She handed him the purse and he grabbed it and took off. Luckily, she had the keys in her pocket. She called 911 on the cell phone and we went inside to wait for the policeman. She called my dad and he cancelled the credit cards.

My mom was meeting the doctor at midnight because it was almost time for my baby brother to be born. He was born the very next morning.
