2 min read
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in looking for a man accused of trying to kidnap a teenage girl in Vancouver on Tuesday morning.
“He’s like, ‘Get in my car. I have a gun.’ And he pulls out the gun, shows the gun, like, completely. And he’s like, ‘If you run, I’m gonna shoot you.’ So I just sat there for, like, I’d say about two seconds. I’m like, do I get in the car or do I run? And instead I’m just like, I’m just like, no. And I run as fast as I can,” said the girl.
She says she ran down the street and tried to flag down cars. Eventually she got help.
“Eventually, these two women like rolled down their window and I told them, I told them what happened,” the girl said. “And the lady already called someone.”
The incident happened in the Salmon Creek neighborhood in the 500 block of Northeast 149th Street around 8:30 a.m., according to a spokesperson with the sheriff’s office.
