A top talent at ABC News admitted she was recently the victim of a violent crime in Washington, D.C., underscoring the need for a greater law enforcement presence in the nation’s capital.
Kyra Phillips, who has been with the network since 2018, recalled on Monday her recent encounter with a “half-dressed” man who mugged her in downtown D.C. She cited the instance as a “firsthand” experience felt by many others as they brave the pedestrian commute to work each day.
“I can tell you firsthand here in downtown DC, where we work, right here around our bureau, just in the past six months, you know, there were two people shot, one person died, literally two blocks down here from the bureau,” Phillips explained.
