ABC News reports:
Temple University students robbed at gunpoint, held in basement at off-campus apartmentPhiladelphia police are investigating an armed home robbery involving Temple University students that occurred Friday morning at an off-campus apartment, school officials said.Some of the victims recounted the harrowing experience to ABC Philadelphia station WPVI, which they said started when one of the roommates responded to a knock at the door.The roommate let the two young men in the apartment, believing they knew someone inside, the students told the station.Several of the roommates were then woken up by an armed man, who took one of them to wake up the rest, the students said.Eleven people were in the home at the time, including six female residents, three boyfriends and two female friends who had stayed over, WPVI reported. They were all locked in the apartment’s basement for over an hour, the students said.While in the basement, some of the victims were able to get their laptops and messaged anyone they could think of to call 911 and report that they were being held up, they told WPVI.The victims told WPVI they believe the suspects were at the wrong address because the two men repeatedly asked, “Where are the drugs?”…”You never think it’s going to happen to you, but when it does, it’s like a shock,” one student told WPVI.”I think the sad part is, we all talked in the room — we all realized that once they came in the room, everyone was kind of, ‘Oh, it’s our time now,'” another student told the station.
