A man throws the rocks through the window, then jumps in a van which speeds off.
“I just don’t understand why. Why me?” Moore said.
While it was happening, she said her instincts kicked in.
“I grabbed my Great Dane and my gun and fell onto the floor,” Moore said.
Not only was Moore scared for her life, but she is also disabled and on a fixed income.
Moore contacted her landlord to get it fixed.
A window repairman came out and gave her an estimate.
“$600 to fix it, because there’s four windows that need fixed. He looked at me and said ‘and you’re responsible for it,’” Moore said.
News Center 7 reached out to Springfield police to get a copy of the police report but were told their records department is not available until Tuesday.
With no additional income to fix it, and living alone at home, Moore said she has no one to turn to.
“I was looking into the Department of Aging to see if they could help me get these windows fixed,” she said.
Until they get fixed, Moore said she is scared to leave her home.
She is following up with the police to see if they have any leads.
