Youre with but after advice for everywhere you live, so reporter investigators were on the scene throughout the day and into the evening. This was a very brazen attack.

So we tell people that, you know, look through your peephole. If you dont recognize that individual you dont have to open your door. If you have a front door ic your desk is that person actually with your maintenance staff. Reporter the building advertises itself as having a doorman concierge but it is unclear if that is a 24hour operation. Live in arlington, Jackie Benson, news 4. Thank you, jackie.
