In a harrowing incident in Jackson, Mississippi, armed carjackers brazenly attacked a family in their own driveway while their children were still in the backseat. The criminals opened fire, creating a terrifying scene captured on doorbell camera footage. The mother, Heather Allen, recounted the traumatic experience as one of the attackers jumped into the driver’s seat, pointing a gun at her oldest son’s face.
The family, new to Jackson, had only been residents for three months before this violent confrontation shattered their sense of security. In the chaos, when the carjackers failed to figure out how to steal their intended vehicle, they turned their attention to another car owned by the family. Desperate to protect her family, Allen threw her keys at the attackers, who then sped off in her car.
Despite police identifying two suspects, no arrests have been made, leaving the family in a state of fear and uncertainty. The gravity of the situation has forced them to consider relocating once again, just months after settling into what they had hoped would be a new home. This violent encounter underscores the persistent threat of crime in Jackson and the profound impact it has on the lives of its residents.
