The story isn’t very detailed, but DCist mentioned it in their morning roundup. I agree that while this OP’s wife had a frightening experience, I think a home invasion where the victims were shot are what qualifies as “terrifying”!

Glad no one was hurt! This reinforces to me the importance of my habit of always keeping all doors locked, even when home, as well as bar-less windows. I always answer the door, but tell the ppl I can’t open it due to my aggressive large dogs (which are at that point barking like mad). They always leave quickly.

Interesting to hear about the stick-shift issue…

This account is more… lesson learned or cautionary tale. Scary, hardly terrifying.

Will see if I can locate the article in question…
