COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Cobb County police say several people pistol-whipped a man while they held his girlfriend at gunpoint after they managed to get inside the couple’s home.
Police say the suspects nearly hit someone in the neighborhood with a car as they sped away.
Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief 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 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 there’s a lot of concern in that situation.”
She says she’s also concerned about who set the whole thing up. She says one of the people police have arrested was her roommate.
“You can’t really trust anybody,” Rogenkamp said.

“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.
