Not quite home alone.

Two roommates in Hampton, Virginia, got a nasty surprise on February 21 when two strangers burst into their residence, holding guns and demanding money. The robbers, Demarcus Wade and Clifton Jordon, entered the house and immediately confronted one of the occupants, Timothy Page.

Page said to the Daily Press, "They told me to hit the floor, so I hit the floor." When the robbers demanded money from Page, however, he told them he didn't know where there was any. Wade and Jordon then went to another room to strong-arm the other roommate who was home, Robert Outlaw, to get some money. When Outlaw couldn't provide any money either, one robber shot at Outlaw, and then they again went to Page to press him for money.

Outlaw hurriedly got another roommate's gun. When the two robbers came Outlaw's way again, he fired at them. They fired back. When the bullets stopped flying, one robber, Jordon, was fatally wounded and the other had fled. Outlaw had a bullet wound to his chest. Outlaw's roommate, Page, attempted to drive him to a hospital, but their intended destination had gone out of business. Forty-five minutes later, the two called authorities for help. A rescue vehicle got Outlaw to a nearby hospital.

Three people have been arrested in connection to the case: Demarcus Wade, Ineen Robinson, and Michael Williams. The latter two waited outside in a vehicle while Wade and Jordon made the robbery attempt. Police learned that Robinson had known Outlaw and had led the robbers to the location to stage the robbery. The three were charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit a felony, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
