A 72-year-old woman was the victim of a violent carjacking in Minneapolis on October 5th, where her alleged attackers stole her purse and vehicle, and later crashed her car during a police pursuit where the suspects died in the crash.

The victim was reportedly at a friend’s house at the time, feeding a cat that she was taking care of in her friend’s absence. That’s when three teenage suspects approached the victim and beat her in an effort to take her purse.

I don't understand people saying they are sad about these "teens" being dead. They would have cheerfully killed this old woman and would be let out to commit more mayhem. Teens any more can mean 17 - 19 year-olds who are full grown and strong as an ox. As far as I'm concerned, this story has a happy ending.

As Jerry Seinfeld would say, “That’s a shame.”

Just out of curiosity. When does a person become “elderly”? Are we old in our 60’s and elderly in our 70”s?

Anyone got a replay of the crash? Wanna see if it’d be repairable.

From experience, I can tell you that the older you get the farther away elderly is. ;-)

No sympathy for the hoodlums.

Actions have consequences and that’s a lesson they should have learned long ago.

I’m in my 60’s and I still laugh at fart jokes. I will never be elderly.

That is very sad. On the bright side, their demise saved the taxpayers a lot of money and future victims from attack.

I work with Seniors. Age is a state of mind. I have had many clients in their 90’s that are inspirationally active and engaged.

Teen usually means media speak for black thug. Since no names or pictures I assume this holds true in this instance.
