At that time, a male suspect walked out from behind the house and told the victim that he was looking at the house because it was for sale.

The victim said the house was not for sale and took out her cell phone to call 911. That's when the male victim pulled out his gun.

The victim dropped her phone and ran to a nearby home to call 911.
