Five teenagers have been charged in the armed of U.S. Representative Mary Gay Scanlon in Philadelphia, authorities said. Police recovered her vehicle in neighboring Delaware on Wednesday night. Scanlon,62, was walking to her vehicle in Philadelphia’s FDR Park around 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday when two suspects approached her at gunpoint and demanded the keys to her car, authorities said. Scanlon was physically unharmed- but said the scariest moment was walking away before the suspects fled the scene, unsure if they would hurt her. «No one should have to experience this kind of lawlessness,» Scanlon said in a call with reporters Thursday. Scanlon said President Biden called her Thursday to check on her, and they discussed the importance of gun control measures.
