glad someone have brought this thread back to life .. home invasions sure have not stopped since I quit keeping up ..
Still no description of the suspects? Something amiss?
goes to show you why I'll NEVER open front door unless I can positively identify who it is. especially at 2am ...
when someone knocks on the door .. you should always challenge by asking in a loud voice ... WHO IS IT? preferably armed
otherwise they could think no one is home and kick the door in .. they could still kick the door in, but probably will go find an easier target. once they know someone is ready and waiting on other side of door.

Investigators aid the assailants were armed, and they beat the woman's husband and a male roommate.

TULSA, Oklahoma -
Tulsa Police are looking for two men who robbed a man and shot him at the Executive Villa Apartments in the 3200 block of South Winston early Friday.
Officers said one of the men was armed with a handgun. The victim told police the pair banged on his door just after 2 a.m. As he opened the door, the men kicked it in.
Police said the victim told the two men he had no money. While one held the victim at gunpoint, the other man ransacked the apartment. The men took the victim's wallet and shot him in the upper leg then then ran away.
Officers said the only description of the two men is they were both young black males wearing hooded sweatshirts.
"It probably would have been best to talk to through the door, especially if you don't recognize them. If they've got hoods on, it should be something you should pick up as odd or strange," said Tulsa Police Cpl. Jerrod Hart.
EMSA took the victim to the hospital. Police say he's expected to be okay.

I had somebody knock (more like pound) on my door two nights ago about 11:30pm. The dogs rushed the front door barking. When I went around the house nobody was at the front door. Just an FYI for the guys around claremore/ Oologah area.
what a dumbass! .. opening the door at 2AM without knowing who's there
