temperatures down well below freezing.

As night fell, bone-chilling winds howled through the sleepy residential streets.

Families cozied up inside with their heaters on and the curtains drawn. Just after 9 p.m. the quiet was shattered by the sound of gunshots inside 6208 Stony Brook Drive, then eerie quiet.

A few minutes later, the front door of the house opened,

and 15-year-old Angie Brandt sprinted outside in a panic.

She was barefoot, her nightgown torn and bloody.

She screamed as she ran across the icy snow and pavement,

putting as much distance between herself and her house as possible.

She made it to her neighbor's place across the street.

Angie tried to get inside to safety, but the door was locked.

She ran to the next house, banging on the door and trying to get someone's anyone's attention.

Across the street, the front door to her home opened again. Her brother, 13 year old

Charlie, walked down the steps onto the front lawn. He watched Angie run from

house to house trying to find anyone who would answer the door.

Angie looked back to see Charlie watching her from the front lawn.
