SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Officers are investigating after an apparent kidnapping attempt in East Sacramento.
The incident happened around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday near 45th and M Streets.
A 13-year-old girl was reportedly walking to Kit Carson Middle School when a dark-colored sedan with two suspects inside approached her. Police say one of the suspects got out of the car, grabbed the girl's clothes and pulled out a gun.

"Victim is safe [and] reunited with her family and they're working through healing process of such an event taking place," said Matthew McPhail with Sacramento Police.
The girl's school has been notified. Officers are now canvassing the neighborhood for anyone or any car that fits the description.
