Indianapolis grandmother fights off teenage carjackers

INDIANAPOLIS (KABC) -- An Indianapolis grandmother was beaten unconscious as she fought off three teens who were attempting to steal her car Sunday night.

Kay Kise said she had just returned home from the store when the teens confronted her and demanded her van. One of the teens pointed a gun just inches away from her face and threatened to shoot her.

"He said, 'Give me the keys to the damn car.' I said, 'You're not getting that car,' and I smacked the gun away from my face," Kise said.

That's when the man hit her with the pistol and she was knocked unconscious against her van. When she woke up the trio was gone and she was left with bruises and a shattered cheek bone.

"What if their grandmother or their mother or sister or somebody was done that way by somebody else. How would they like it?" she said.

Luckily, she had saved her van. Kise, who found a little bit of humor in the situation, said there wasn't much gas left in the van so the teens wouldn't have gotten far if they had taken it.

Police are still looking for the suspects.
