Well, This is true and happened in Nashville about two weeks ago. I was a witness (woke up to door being caved in two apartment units below mine). I retrieved cell phone and keeping my BR door locked, went to the window to see SUV parked sideways with doors open. Weird I thought, but then to my wondering eyes did appear two BGs running from the breezeway below and got in / drove away. Both were taking off ski masks as they got in. I retrieved my HD weapon and made sure (via window near door) that no one was outside my unit posing a threat or trying to get in. Once that was complete, I called the Police and remained in my unit. In about 2 min, they arrived and found a dazed and scared mid 30s couple in the LR of the apartment that was invaded. I was interviewed about what I saw, the vehicle, etc. I gave what info I could. I could not get the tag due to the angle. Turns out, after BGs caved in the door at 12:35 am, one guy went directly to the BR and held the couple in bed at Gunpoint while the other guy was searching for goods. Fortunately, the couple was not harmed. The guy who lives there is ex cop from west TN and he is now a firearms trainer and works security detail. He had two glocks and one shotgun in the sleeping area. Those were taken in the robbery. Also taken were car keys, her purse, and a back pack (his) with boxes of ammo and some various accessories. I just want to thank everyone on these forums because I feel about as prepared as one can be due to all the info that is shared. I knew not to go down the stairs or to try and detain/confront home invaders outside. I was prepared to deal with trouble if it came to me but not to look for it. The time estimate from the start of this (door breached) until they sped away was probably about 4 minutes. The investigation as to a "why" that apartment is still open. I'd like to know but mainly just trying to be ready and able to react properly if need be. I have maintained communication with a detective and he will let me know if they are found / caught. I hope so but time will tell. The couple moved away as she could not sleep there anymore.
