Update to this story.
The robbery happened around 4:45 p.m. at 1226 Missouri Avenue. Five college students were home when three suspects came in an unlocked door, carrying a gun. One of the victims jumped out of a window, while the rest were held at gunpoint.
That's about the level of detail available for the previous article.
"We're all a little bit shocked," said Alex Stein, another student held at gunpoint. "You don't think someone is going to walk into your kitchen and point a gun to your head and tell you to get on the ground."
The suspects made off with thousands of dollars worth of computers, iPods and an Xbox. No one was hurt, but even police are perplexed by the random attack.
"This is a very nice, quiet neighborhood," said Lt. Steve Stracek. "We have very few problems."
It can happen anywhere. Lock your doors and take care of yourselves.

Random, shmandom. All that matters is that bad guys knew victims had something worth taking. It's not surprising that a house near UMD with 5 college students has some computers and other electronics.
I'll even speculate that the average student living off site (not in dorms) might more goodies than the average student living in a dorm...not to mention that they don't have campus security patrolling regularly.
