An Osoyoos, B.C., mother says she was feeding her newborn when a woman opened her front door and said: “I just wanted to see the baby.”

On Wednesday morning, the mother was sitting on the couch, feeding her seven-week-old daughter and drinking the coffee her husband had dropped off earlier in the morning before he drove to work.

She heard knocking at the door, but didn’t answer. Instead, she checked her security cameras on her smartphone and saw a woman wearing yellow rubber gloves and a black wig.

“This person looks weird. I don’t know, I just got a weird vibe,” she said. “Then she opens the door.”

That’s when the woman allegedly asked to see the baby.

The mother, who asked not to be identified to protect her family, told the woman she shouldn’t just walk into other people’s houses. The woman said “OK,” the mother said, and then slowly closed the front door.

Shortly after that the woman pulled a weapon out of her waistband, the Osoyoos RCMP said in a press release.
