Police are searching for two men they said held a blind grandmother at gunpoint during a home invasion.
Doris Johnson said she was taking her trash to her back porch Monday night when she heard the sounds of running feet.
"I'm blind so I can't really see anything I just heard some movement and then I was shoved into my kitchen," Johnson said.
Two men put a gun to her head and demanded money, throwing her on the floor, Johnson said.
"They kept saying we know you got some money, we know you got some money and I was like, I (don't have) no money," Johnson said.
She believed she was targeted because the men knew she was blind.
"I heard one of them say, 'She can't even see us,'" Johnson told Channel 9.
Johnson said when the suspects couldn't find any money, they ran from her apartment.
"I was so afraid, I was just sitting on my bed cause I was so scared. I was just sitting there praying, 'God, please help me,'" Johnson said.
She said she was relieved her two grandchildren were not at her Avalon Avenue apartment when the men broke in.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department detectives told Channel 9 they have no descriptions of the suspects but said they did recover evidence from the scene.
