Police say around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday night, officers were called to an apartment building in the 2400 block of Trout Lake Road. The victim, a woman, said she had let another woman into the building thinking the suspect was a personal support worker. Once inside, the suspect pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded the victim turn over her purse and medications.
