GREENSBORO, North Carolina – Kyle Hake, lead vocalist for the popular trio Mercy’s Well, was the victim of an armed robbery on his way home to Sumter, South Carolina from a singing engagement on June 26, 2006 at around 2:00 a.m. on Monday morning. The group had performed in Randleman, North Carolina that Sunday evening.
The incident occurred not far from Kyle’s home. Apparently the robber had placed items in the road to cause a blown tire and/or an accident. Kyle ran over the items in the road, stopped to investigate the damage and was approached by an armed masked robber. The attacker threatened Kyle with force. He managed to flee on foot through the woods only to be pursued by the perpetrator. After running and hiding in the wooded area, he managed to escape. No significant cash loss was incurred, but the attacker did take his wallet and cell phone. He suffered cuts, bruises and damage to his knees and feet from running through the wooded area barefoot.
Kyle wishes to thank all who have called, sent e-mails, cards and letters.
“It’s been a comfort to Kyle during this traumatic experience,” stated Brad Strider, owner and manager of Mercy’s Well. “He realizes exactly how much he means to the people near him. Greg and I, along with Kyle’s family and friends, are so thankful he is OK. He appreciates all the prayers that have gone up on his behalf.”
Continue to pray for Kyle that the emotional distress caused by this incident will be minimal. His faith has already seen him through and will continue to sustain him during this time. Anyone wishing to send Kyle correspondence may do so at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
