Diana Dejacimo was walking her dog in Lincoln Park when a robber rushed out of an SUV, aimed a gun at her, then grabbed her purse and ran down the street, all in a matter of seconds.
“I was dumbfounded,” the 70-year-old Dejacimo told the Sun-Times. “It took me a couple of seconds to realize I just got mugged at gunpoint.”
Neither Dejacimo nor her dog Jasper were injured, but the attack Wednesday morning made her appreciate even more her decision recently to move from the city to Wisconsin.
