Out front were the two masked suspects. Philadelphia Police Captain Michael Goodson said at least one had a gun.
"We were all just woken up. There was a guy with a gun. He came into a couple of our rooms. He made one of us go and wake up the rest of the roommates with the guy with the gun," one student said.The suspects were apparently told this was a home they would be able to find drugs and money. But that was not the case.All the victims were unharmed but shaken as they were forced to hand over their cell phones, debit cards along with their PIN numbers and car keys.
"I hear all this rummaging upstairs in the kitchen. It sounded like multiple people, so my heart started like beating. I was shaking in bed. I didn't know what to do," said Barone.Next, she called 911. By then the masked men had made their way downstairs. Police are calling this an active investigation, and looking into whether these are the same people who hit another home on the 1300 block of North 15th Street Friday morning.As students grapple with this latest incident, Friday evening campus police were busy responding to a shooting that left a man injured near the campus grounds at 11th and Jefferson.
Imagine letting your kid go to school in a dump like philly
It is irresponsible to send your child to any university, anywhere without first knowing the eyes wide open crime rate of where they will be learning and living.
O be r open the door & allow masked men into your house
Not sure how with what’s going on, how any parent can feel comfortable sending their child there. Difficult enough worrying as a parent, add in what’s going on? Nope.
let this be a lesson dont sell drugs out of your house in north philadelphia!
Temple student who doesn't speak proper English. Money well spent
TEMPLE PD’S COMMANDERS & THE UNIVERSITY IS FULL OF IT! THEY SHOULD BE PATROLLING FROM GIRARD TO CUMBERLAND SINCE THEIR STUDENTS HAVE INHABITED THAT ENTIRE AREA! THEY ALWAYS RELEASE A STATEMENT SAYING ITS OUTSIDE OF THEIR ZONE & THAT’S BS!
Keep voting blue Philly!
The temple area crime problem has exacerbated so much in recent years. Realistically speaking, would any young student ever want to go there? There are hundreds of thousands of universities across the country where you can get the same education without fearing for your life😂😂
