A woman was attacked Christmas Day after coming home from work.
"He was holding a gun in his hands, raised at me, ready to shoot and he said, 'You better not scream or I'll shoot you."
It was a Christmas morning that Ahn, a 26-year-old college nursing student, will never forget.
We will not use her full name to protect her identity.
She was returning home at 4:15 a.m. Sunday and just as she started to unlock the front door three masked gunmen stormed up to her with guns pointed at her face.
"I was outnumbered, there were three guys and one of me," Ahn said.
"The first thing I said was, 'Please don't do this. Nooo, please don't do this.' My voice dropped and I felt the blood leaving my face," she said.
Paralyzed with fear, unable to move, Ahn says she yanked her keys out of the door and dropped them.
She said the gunmen were infuruated, grabbed her cellphone and her purse, and demanded she let them into the house.
When she didn't, she said they grabbed her and violently pistol whipped her.
"He hit me with the butt of the gun," she said. "He told me to lie down on the ground and stay there."
In the process of trying to protect herself, Anh said her finger was broken and her head was gashed open by that gun.
Still, she was determined not to help those men get into her home where her mother and father were sleeping.
In the end, the thieves threatened her one more time before stealing her purse and driving off in her car.
