Woman “shoots” down man with prayer!

October 9th, 2008, 7:58 pm by Sharon

Wow, a woman getting items out of her car while parked at St. Timothy’s Catholic Community was approached by a man with a gun intending to rob her!

Apparently she had a faster draw - when she started praying he lowered his pistol and walked away!  I’d say he was shot down; he was also arrested by Mesa Police for attempted robbery.  This happened at 1:00 PM - midday - always be cautious no matter where, when, or what time it is!  At least you can be ready with a prayer…..
