AURORA - A serial rapist may have tried to strike again, but a woman shot at her would-be assailant before he could attack her.
The incident happened around 9 p.m. Tuesday, in an apartment building near Dayton and Parker Road. It's the same neighborhood that a serial rapist has terrorized.
The woman says she heard her blinds rustling in her living room and got a gun. She sat up in bed with the gun, and when the man entered her bedroom, she shot at him. She missed, but the blast was enough to make the man take flight.
The serial rapist is described as a black man, standing 6 feet to 6 feet 3 inches, and weighing about 200 pounds. The man also is said to have a distinctive scar on his nose.
The series of rapes have been linked by the man's DNA and description.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Aurora or Denver police, or the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department.
