Parking Lot Assaults-On The Rise?

Last week in Pueblo, Colorado there were three assaults that has the community on edge. Police are downplaying these incidents as normal, saying that it doesn't represent an increase in crime but just that people are reporting the crimes quicker. Read the whole story HERE. It is not a coincidence that all three of these assaults occurred in parking lots. Next to domestic violence, where assaults occur in the home, parking lots represent the highest risk location for assaults. Most parking lots offer "perps" excellent places to hide, between and under cars, to stage surprise attacks on victims who are not paying attention after leaving a store heading to their car. Police have captured one suspect and have leads on the others. One victim told a television station that she carries a piece of lead pipe in her car as what she called the "equalizer."
