A staff member for Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt was robbed at gunpoint in DC on Thursday night.
Amanda Peper, Britt’s scheduler, had parked her car around 8:20 p.m. and was walking to her apartment building when the robbery occurred.
According to a report from Fox 5 DC, the robber approached her, pointed a gun at her face, and said, “Give me your purse and keys.”
Peper complied and handed over her belongings.
The robber took her purse, got into her car, and fled.
“We thank God that she is safe and sound after this terrifying incident, and we’re grateful to the Capitol Police Department and Metropolitan Police Department officers who quickly and professionally responded to the scene,” Senator Britt said in a statement.
