Authorities say she went home, and while going to her side door to lock it, one of the men came into the house and grabbed her in a bear hug. The other man she had been speaking to allegedly came in through the back door.
The two pushed the woman to the floor in a nearby bedroom and threatened to kill her if she looked at them, police said.
After a few minutes passed, the house reportedly became silent and the victim called 911.
