COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Cobb County police say several people pistol-whipped a man while they held his girlfriend at gunpoint during a recent break-in at the couple’s home.
Police say the suspects nearly hit someone in the neighborhood with a car as they sped away.
Channel 2′s Michele Newell spoke with the victim at her Austell home.
“Seeing my boyfriend on the floor, him being pistol-whipped over and over, and I turn and I see a gun,” Katrina Rogenkamp recalled.
Damage to the front door of the home is a daily reminder of when Rogenkamp saw her life flash before her eyes.
She says five people got into her home, held her at gunpoint, attacked her boyfriend and then robbed her home.
“My boyfriend’s bag, his ID, his social and his registered gun was also taken,” she said. “There’s high concern about identity theft.”
She says she’s also concerned about who set the home invasion up. She says one of the people police have arrested since the incident was her roommate.
“You can’t really trust anybody,” Rogenkamp said.
She says she and her boyfriend got into a dispute with their roommate over rent money, but had no idea that it would escalate to violence.
According to the warrant, several people were involved, but only two have been arrested.
“I wish they would work harder on finding them,” she said.
Newell asked police if the others mentioned in the warrant would be charged, but has not heard back.
