A Los Angeles mother \u2014 on the road and speaking on the phone with her mother, who suddenly started screaming in fear \u2014 raced home and rammed a car being used by burglars, video of dramatic confrontation showed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman had just gone out to grab coffee at about 11:30 a.m. Saturday and was on the phone with her mother when two masked burglars appeared outside the back sliding door of their house in Sherman Oaks, the family said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My mom is screaming. My kids are in the house,” the woman told NBC News on Monday. “She’s screaming like crazy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman, fearing for the safety of her mother and three young children, raced home in her G-Wagon and slammed into a sedan parked outside \u2014 not knowing, at that moment, that she had actually crashed into the getaway car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I see the guys, and I was in panic. I was in shock, you know, and I, like, hit their car unintentionally,” the woman said. “In my mind, I thought they killed my family.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neighborhood security cameras showed two men running away from the scene as soon as the woman came crashing home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, moments later, a third man, believed to be the getaway driver, emerged from the right side of the car that the panicked woman had just struck, video showed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third man had to go through the passenger side because the collision jammed and sealed the driver’s side entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police investigators found handheld radios inside the car that might have been used to monitor police activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman bluntly told the three men to never come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Next time I’m going to kill them,” she said. “Don’t come back. Don’t come back to my house.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The LAPD declined comment Tuesday, citing its ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
