Two apartments robbed at gunpoint in San Luis Obispo

A scary night for one college student, after his door is kicked in and he is taken against his will.

At about 9:30 p.m. Thursday night, officers were called out to the 1200 block of Murray Street in San Luis Obispo.
"I was able to hear the cops breaking up the fight. I could hear them talking through their speaker but I didn't know it was a fight at the time," said Cal Poly student Phoebe Pynchon, who lives in the complex.
Investigators said it was like something out of a movie. Police officers were dispatched to the apartment complex, where they said a man kicked in the front door of a 19-year-old Cal Poly student's apartment.
The victim told police that once the suspect was inside, he showed off his gun and demanded the student's property. Investigators said when he wasn't satisfied, he took the student at gunpoint to a neighbor's apartment and kicked in that door and began to take things.
"That's a little scary. That's more extreme than anything I've heard of going on this street," said Pynchon.
Investigators said before officers arrived, the apartment manager fought off the suspect, who then ran away.
