An 8-year-old girl narrowly escaped being attacked by armed robbers in Union City

According to police, the girl noticed the attackers exiting the car, two of whom were holding firearms, and ran toward her home.

The attackers chased her, but she managed to lock the door. When her relatives confronted the attackers, they fled in a white Ford Taurus. Police say they have "promising leads" in the investigation and believe it was likely an attempted home invasion rather than a pre-planned attack on a child. There were no injuries, but residents of the street are extremely frightened. Security video footage is being analyzed, and police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
