Halloween gunmen terrorize Florida citrus towns at night
In Clermont, Florida a shadow of Halloween terror grips citrus groves as a group of two to three masked gunmen commit six night raids over four weeks. They have raped a teen, injured several others, and steal cash, jewelry, and household items. Police deploy 60 officers amid warnings to keep trick-or-treaters off streets. Authorities say the attacks appear related and driven by sadistic thrill, not money.
