According to the crime announcement on the FCPD social media, the three teens approached the ATM and demanded the money, but the victim pushed one of the teenagers, who then pulled out a gun. The victim fell to their knees and started screaming, which may have activated a car alarm, and the suspects ran.
There were people around and it caused alarm with some, leading to some chatter on social media. “What is going on in this County? Everyday some violent crime is happening,” one Springfield Forest resident said. "I live in Saratoga and while the news of what happened is unsettling and having a friend who personally knows the victim validating how unsettling it is," another added.
