It is not difficult to understand the reason that small business owners and residents alike are inclined to develop an acute sense of paranoia while tending their shops or performing other personal responsibilities in the areas in and around the downtown district, especially the isolated areas situated west of Bull Street. The fact that Barbara Terrebonne was ruthlessly attacked and severely injured in her shop on West Taylor Street is alarming, and it should be. Had it not been for the intervention of another customer who made the discovery and alerted authorities to the fact that a crime had been committed, Ms. Terrebonne might well have bled to death and become yet another statistic in Savannah's growing homicide inventory. Although her alleged assailant was befriended by his victim and had done work for her, he viciously attacked Ms. Terrebonne without warning, causing her serious and possibly permanent damage.
