Avon Burton was leaving a local store last year when she came across a naked 16-year-old boy being chased by a sex offender.
She heard the boy shouting, “Help!” Then she saw a gunman standing over the boy in the middle of the street.
“We watch a grown man straddle a young kid and load bullets into his body,” she said Tuesday, recalling the dreadful memory. “It was horrific that day, as a mother.”
But Burton kept her wits about her “with remarkable courage,” and helped point Harrisburg police officers in the right direction where the sex offender was attempting to escape. He was running down an alley way in Allison Hill after the fatal shooting of Kyan King on Aug. 29.
