PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A group of Temple University students is speaking about their frightening ordeal early Friday morning when two masked men entered their off-campus apartment, armed with a gun & robbed them.
There were 11 students inside at the time of the robbery. 6 female residents, 3 of their boyfriends & 2 female friends were sleeping over.
"I think the sad part is, we all talked in the room, we all realized once they came into the room, everyone was kind of like 'oh, it's our time now,'" 1 student said.
They said they were woken up by a knock at the door.
Out front were the 2 masked suspects, at least 1 had a gun.
1 of the roommates let the 2 men in the apartment thinking they were young men who probably knew someone inside.
"We were all just woken up. There was a guy with a gun. He came into a couple of our rooms. He made 1 of us go & wake up the rest of the roommates with the guy with the gun," a second student said.
However, the students soon figured out the men were not in the right location.
The suspects kept asking the students, "Where are the drugs? Where are the drugs?"
The suspects were apparently told this was a home they would be able to find drugs & money. But that was not the case.
The armed robbers proceeded to lock all 11 students in the basement.
"We were all kept in the same room together for over an hour they were there," the second student said.
All the victims were unharmed but shaken as they were forced to hand over their cell phones, debit cards along with their PIN numbers & car keys.
"You never think it's going to happen to you, but when it does it's like a shock," the second student said.
