The carrier was targeted while he was on his route in Austin. Such attacks are on the minds of letter carriers throughout the city​.

– a white SUV pulled up, and once the letter carrier walked up, two people got out with handguns, police said. They immediately started going through the carrier's pockets, robbing and circling him."The guys specifically says grab the keys, grab the keys," said one resident."One of the guys doubled back to get the keys."

Sandifer said neighbors have dealt with missing and delayed mail for years and fear the attacks will make it worse.
