CHATTANOOGA (WRCB)-- A Chattanooga woman is still rattled over a late night home invasion. She watched a robbery suspect pistol whip her 11-year-old son.
"That's him, I'd never forget that. I know that's him," says Kim Schmitt.
Kim Schmitt is still rattled after her family was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday night.
"They got my 11-year-old son and threw him in the bathroom and shut the door," says Schmitt.
Schmitt and two of three children were pistol whipped. Others were duct-taped.
"They said get on the ground and don't' look at me," says Schmitt.
Twelve-year-old Brian Woods says he was on the couch watching TV when two men busted through the door.
"He came in with a pistol to my dad's head," says Woods.
Schmitt says the suspects took about $100, cell phones and her medication. But it's what they left behind that has her shaken.
"When they got a gun to your kid's head and you're going to do what they say. They can do anything," says Schmitt.
Chattanooga police say they found Fredrick Anderson at a vacant house just a few doors down. Schmitt says she'll never forget his face.
"I hope they lock him up and he never gets out. He had no reason to do this to us," says Schmitt.
Police are still searching for a second suspect. Anderson faces a nearly a dozen charges and Schmitt tells me this is not the first time this has happened.
They were robbed about a year ago.
