A Chicago mother is speaking out, after she and her husband were robbed, and almost carjacked, while with their young kids.
The family was at a gas station in the 600 block of South Independence Boulevard on the West Side, earlier this month when a group of four masked men robbed them of jewelry and other belongings, and tried to take their car.

A woman, who is a mother and a wife, spoke to ABC7 about what happened and asked to hide her face. She said it was a terrifying situation.
She said her husband had just paid for gas as the family waited in the car. The robbery and attempted carjacking was partially caught on surveillance camera.
They got their guns… they’re telling him… ‘I’m gonna kill you in front of your family.’
“As he tries to get back in the car, four armed individuals run towards him, trying to pull his chain,” she said.
She says her husband tried to protect the family, including their 6-year-old son and newborn.
