Big doings at Mallory

[ajbrown]

Quite a commotion going on here a bit ago at Mallory. As I worked in my office, I noticed a young woman walk carrying a very small child. I thought that is odd, but thought nothing more of it. Within minutes there was a helicopter flying around our neighborhood, once twice, three time..... I figured maybe an accident?

I then notice that neighbors gathering. Hoping there was a plan for an impromptu ST Patty's day party I went outside.

Come to find out this woman had been spotted coming through houses at the golf course, had been seen in a neighbors lanai. By now the police had her for questioning at the end of the street and she and baby were taken off in an ambulance.

The helicopters are searching for her two male accomplices which have bolted and not been detained.

I am sure all of the details will be in the paper tomorrow :)


I still hear the helicopters as I hit submit...

When hubby went through the Caroline gate less than an hour ago, the gate guard said it was a car jacking. Not exactly sure what's happening, but while hubby was coming over the bridge on Morse, heading home, two police cars and an unmarked car with flashing interior lights went flying by.

Life is never dull around here, is it!

The helicopter is still circling around Mallory and it's 1:15 pm!!

In tomorrows paper? You must be kidding. Disregard. The radio just confirmed that it will be in the paper in the morning.

My bad, I used a :), when a :1rotfl: would have expressed my point better

[GatbTester]

I agree with F 16, as an old helo grinder from the U. S. Army in the 60's, seeing that reported in the "Daily Planet" tomorrow would be a miracle.

It will be in small print on page 5. The front page will be dominated by an article about a Villager who collects dried up dog turds.

Oh ye of little faith.
Just heard (2:30PM) on WVLG radio, all about the doings at Mallary. A red code alert has been issued; reverse 911 for those in the area. The authorities are still searching for the men involved.

Funny comment. :mademyday:

Back to the topic, I feel very safe and secure in TV. But this thread reminds me not to get complacent, and to keep the doors locked.

O.K. Brenda Starr wants to know. What happened to the young woman with the very young child (i.e. a baby?)

Per above.
They were taken off in an ambulance.

[Mallory]

Haven't received the reverse 911 call from Sumter County yet and I'm not too far away.

Time is actually 3:30 PM despite what TOTV time indicates.

[pooh]

We haven't received a reverse 911 call either and I'm in Caroline, not near the gate, but only a couple of roads away from it...which is within the search area according to the crawler on Channel 2.

Actually haven't heard the helicopter in just a little bit.

[mrdills]

I had a phone call for the Sheriff department this afternoon, it was a code red call.

[graciegirl]

What is a code red? Does that mean you need to hide in the basement? Does someone say something on the code red call???

AND I will rephrase my question about the young woman and baby. Do you think she is tied in somehow with the carjacking?

The lady had been entering people's houses from the golf course, was seen in someone's lanai and was taken away in an ambulance? This is so confusing...

[JeanneBeannie]

About 15 minutes ago the helicopters were flying around over Poinciana.
How will we find out if they caught these guys?
Ohhhhhh.....I can see I am gonna sleep good tonight!!! :22yikes:

Okay; according to Dave, an assignment editor with WESH News in Orlando: there was a vehicle stolen in Sumter County. Dave told me that a female and child were inside the stolen vehicle and were not victims of a car jacking as has been reported. The driver of the vehicle, according to Dave with WESH, a male suspect, left the scene when he was pulled over by law enforcement. Law enforcement is still looking for the male suspect WESH Dave said. The woman and child, according to Dave with WESH, are being checked out at a local hospital but don't believe to have any injuries. "It is a procedural thing" Dave said.

So did the woman and child enter people's homes from the golf course? Was the woman an accomplice? Did the driver leave on foot? Is there are description of him? This is still so confusing...

The lady had been entering people's houses from the golf course, was seen in someone's lanai and was taken away in an ambulance? This is so confusing...

As it happened earlier, this lady carrying an infant was seen in a lanai in our neighborhood by a neighbor. The lady with the infant was trying to open the slider. The neighbor called the owner of the house and asked is someone supposed to be in your house? She said no one should be there. Before the neighbor hung up the phone, the lady with infant were gone.

This is when I saw the lady and infant passing my house per my first post. The police were at the end of our street questioning the lady with infant. After about 10 minutes the woman sat down on the street for a bit. It was then the lady and the infant were taken away in an ambulance. There were no injuries apparent to me on her or the infant, so unclear why she left in ambulance.

Everything else is rumor. In this hood at the time it was all happening folks were saying they heard she and 2 guys were looking to break in. No one in my hood saw the guys. Possibly she scouts it out, calls them...

Then I saw another rumor about a car jacking.....

Someone will find out the facts and it will be interesting to put the facts to what I saw....

Sorry bk, missed that.

Still not sure why the lady with infant was trying to get in a house.

[bkcunningham1]

Maybe aluding the police? I dunno??

Time for some green beer, but for your reading....

ajbrown, very respectively, I'm just telling you what WESH news said this afternoon.

[coffeebean]

Earlier today, I was driving north in the right lane on 441 when a car came flying by me in the left lane being chased by two patrol cars with their light flashing. Within two seconds, the car made a very sharp left to go south on 441. I knew immediately something was happening. Scary!!!

[graciegirl]

You people report the news better than The Daily Sun. In this mornings paper it was on the front page but it carefully didn't say that the lady with the baby was in the village of Mallory or even say she was in TV. In fact no mention of any of this being inside the campus at all. They did show a map with Odell and Morse on it and included the area outside of TV where the car crashed. I couldn't figure out where Mallory was on the map. It did not mention the injuries of the lady or the baby. Poor baby.

I can't wait until my cub reporter granddaughter meets the real deal in BK and Pturner and of course we know who the English majors are around here. A lot of good writers are on this forum.

So glad to be here even if I am just

Gracie. Cheerleader emeritus.

Edited myself. I reread the article and in did say that the police established a perimeter (?) from County road 100 to Morse Blvd and from Odell Circle to the Village of Caroline gate. I have to stop speed reading. Sorry.

[golf2140]

Bk,

Thanks for researching the issue. I live on Bonita and didn't hear a thing.

[coffeebean]

The dark blue car that came screaming past me in the left lane on 441 yesterday was the same car I saw on the news last evening...smashed into a tree.

In light of the item being in the Daily Sun wasn't the above comment unnecessary and offensive?

Gracie, We don't have cable so when I want to know about an ongoing incident in TV, I always come here to TOTV! Great source of info !!!!

[nomoresnow48]

We live off of Stillwater in the Olanta Loop area. The Sheriff's dept. helicopters were flying over us continually for several hours and we had many deputies walking through the yards, some with their canines. Kind of exciting for guests we had visiting. It kind of put the St. Patricks Day celebration to shame ; )

Awww come on Bogie. It was funny. I feel sure it was meant to be satirical humor. It is true that sometimes The Daily Sun is a little more aptly called The Daily FUN!

And most times that is o.k. with me.

[batman911]

Maybe the problem is not the Daily Sun but what we are accustomed to reading in the news where we lived before moving to the villages. Most of us lived in larger cities or near to them and read the daily crime and violence associated with big city life. Yesterday, in Honolulu, a neighbor opened fire on the folks next door (one died) for the constant noise they were making with late night parties. The story was on page 5. TV does have some crime but not near the violence you find in other areas. That fact is one of the things that draws me to live in TV in my senior years.

Follow up article in the Daily Sun this morning. Turns out it was a 37 year old villager leaving a friends house at 3:00AM and was carjacked. Three fugitives identified and still at large.
