911 call released: Menomonee Falls police seek suspects in attempted carjacking

MENOMONEE FALLS (WITI) -- Menomonee Falls police have released the 911 call made moments after an attempted carjacking in the North Pointe Shopping Center that happened on Monday, April 13th.

Officials say just before 11:00 a.m., two suspects were in a car in the parking lot of the shopping center — near the Jo Ann Fabric and Craft store. The passenger exited the vehicle and approached a parked vehicle with a 34-year-old woman and her four-year-old daughter inside.  The victim, while in her car, saw the suspect armed with long-barreled gun approach the rear driver’s side of her car through a rear view mirror.
