Stranger Follows Children Into Home and Locks Out Mother

Tense moments for an Arizona mother, after a stranger followed her children into their home and then locked her out.

ABC 15 says it happened last week in a Phoenix neighborhood. Its reporting indicates the children opened the door while their mother got some things out of the car. Phoenix police say that’s when 30-year-old Vincent Salazar walked in behind them, and locked the doors.

Court records show Salazar told the kids ” he was going to die ” before heading towards the back of the house.

The mom broke a window, unlocked the door, and got her children to safety before calling the cops.

Officers say they found Salazar laying on a bed in a back bedroom before arresting him on criminal trespassing charges.
