When Parolin went downstairs about 5.15am to investigate, she found four intruders ransacking her home.

In security camera vision captured from inside the property, the young men can be heard saying “get the gun, get the gun, shoot her shoot her” before blood curdling screams ring out.

“I just felt that I was going to lose my life this morning,” Parolin said.

“I didn’t know whether it was going to be by a gunshot or by a knife, but I just felt like I shouldn’t have to feel so unsafe in my own home.

“My husband and I were minding our own business, for people to intrude into my home, armed, and threatening me with my life.”
