A college student acts purely on instinct after being approached by a robber.
Sophomore journalism major, Michele Schipper, was approached at the convenience store on Bonneville Drive around 4:00pm yesterday.
As she was reaching into her car to grab her purse, she was approached by a man who was hidden behind a nearby dumpster when she parked, Schipper claims.
“I could see him approaching a little closer,” Schipper remembers. Without any major self-defense training Schipper turned on the six-foot-tall man and fought to keep her purse.
“I turned around and kicked him,” Schipper said. It was a kick that brought him down, “but I was afraid he wouldn’t stay down, that he would seek some kind of retribution.” So Schipper hit the man just one more time.
Once Schipper was sure that the robber was down she left the scene. “I got in my car, and I went away. I called the cops from a motel down the street.” But when the police arrived the man was gone. There were also no witnesses who could help describe the man to police.
Schipper was a little shaken up after the incident, “I was shaking for about an hour afterwards.”
