Plains Township, Luzerne County -

It was a bloody mess. A scene right out of a horror movie. The aftermath of a rampage by this man, 350 pound Thomas Leyshon. He admits to robbing and attacking four women inside the Hairem Family Hair Salon in Plains Township last August.
But his words mean nothing to these five women, close friends, who were brought closer by the vicious attack. Leyshon hit four of the women with a hammer even after they gave him money.
These women insist they are no longer victims. The cruelty showed by Leyshon has made them stronger and more aware of what can happen. But these ladies insist, not out of fear, they have a whole new perspective on life.
