DOERUN —
A Doerun woman reported being startled Friday morning by a masked gunman as she prepared to leave her residence.
Vickie Singletary reported that as she went to her car at 6:55 a.m. in the 100 block of Minnesota Road, she heard someone tell her to get back inside her house. When she looked in the direction from which the voice came, she saw a black male dressed in black and wearing a black mask.
Singletary told the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Department that when she saw the man holding a dark pistol she started running toward the road and tripped. She jumped in front of a school bus to try to get assistance, she told officers, but the driver went around her and did not stop.
When she next looked toward her house she saw the gunman running away, sheriff’s reports said.
Sheriff’s deputies and Doerun Police Department officers searched the area but did not locate the suspect. The agency described the incident as an attempted robbery.
