A 91-year-old Ocala woman was beaten by two suspects who broke into her residence early Saturday morning, according to the Ocala Police Department.
Ocala police said it appears the burglars entered the elderly woman’s northeast Ocala home through a back window shortly before 6 a.m. and, when she heard noises, she called out to see who was inside.
Authorities said the intruders confronted the homeowner and demanded cash from her. When she told them that she didn’t have any money, they beat her. Officials said the robbers then left the home, and it appears they left empty-handed.
Officers found the victim in a room. She was transported to a hospital, where as of Saturday evening she was expected to survive her injuries.
Police searched the area, and a Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit assisted in looking for suspects. They were unsuccessful in finding the persons responsible for the beating.
Officials only got a vague description of the suspects.
Police declined to release the victim’s name, the hospital she was taken to or the extent of her injuries.
A relative of the victim, contacted by the Star-Banner, declined comment.

How will she ever feel safe in her home again?
Poor woman, lucky woman, you pick.
Praying for her.
“Officers found the victim in a room.”
How did they know of the attack? What kind of room was she found in? They certainly used a heavy edit pen when printing the article. Don’t let any information escape.
She was in her home, of course she was in a room!!!!
Prayers for the lady.
The article doesn't mention that anywhere. Must not have happened, after all, we KNOW only White people use guns to commit crimes. /sarc
“Police searched the area, and a Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit assisted in looking for suspects. They were unsuccessful in finding the persons responsible for the beating.”
No mention of the thugs description being obama’s sons. . .as that fact would not be helpful in locating suspects. /sarc
Gators gotta eat. . .
Good point. Scratch cremate.
