McKenna, attempted to calm down the in- <br />truder and his daughter escaped to a neighbor's home next door, police <br />said. <br />While the man — 5 -foot, 10 -inches tall — pointed a,22 caliber rifle at the <br />couple, McKenna began struggling with him. Finally, on the front porch <br />Edina police are searching for this <br />man as a suspect in an aggravated <br />assault case last week. <br />The above is only one example of your Edina Crime Prevention Fund in action.
