Over the weekend, a staffer for Georgia Rep. Mike Collins shared a harrowing experience of being robbed at gunpoint in Washington, D.C. Octavian Miller, an employee of Rep. Collins, described the frightening ordeal that unfolded in Navy Yard.
According to Miller, he and his friend were approached by two masked individuals who brandished guns and demanded valuables. Despite the intense situation, Miller's friend managed to fend off one of the suspects with a punch, leading to the robbers fleeing the scene.
Reflecting on the incident, Miller expressed gratitude that they escaped unharmed, acknowledging that the outcome could have been much worse. Rep. Collins emphasized the need for action to address the rising crime rates, advocating for a return to law and order to ensure the safety of residents and visitors in the nation's capital.
While overall crime in the city has seen a decrease compared to the previous year, recent statistics reveal concerning figures, including a significant number of assaults, robberies, and thefts reported. Despite the challenges, Miller remains thankful for their safety and credits divine protection for guiding them through the ordeal.
