She called 911 and hid in a closet with her sons, according to the police report. Carter told dispatchers she could hear someone rummaging through their belongings in different rooms.
When officers arrived, they found a masked man wearing all black clothing running from the home. The man made it to a waiting SUV and got away, according to the police report.
