A tragic incident unfolded outside the Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach, California, where a tourist from New Zealand lost her life during a robbery attempt on Tuesday. The victim, identified as Patricia McKay, 68, was with her husband near the Barnes & Noble store when they were approached by two male suspects who tried to rob them at gunpoint, according to the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD).
During the robbery attempt, one of the suspects brandished a gun, leading to a struggle. The situation escalated as the woman was dragged into the parking lot area, and shots were fired, fortunately without hitting anyone. Tragically, McKay was then run over by a third suspect driving a white Toyota Camry, while her husband remained unharmed.
