Gunmen Storm Into Maryland Medical Class
Prince George’s County office building put on lockdown for hours while police searched for suspects.
Police in Prince George’s County are looking for two men who stormed into an office building and demanded money.
It happened around 9 p.m. Thursday inside a building on Oxon Hill Road in Oxon Hill, Md. Several students were inside one of the rooms taking a medical class at the time, when they heard the receptionist yell that they had been robbed.
Those inside the room built a barricade in front of the door. "We had a wooden and a metal file cabinet, and we laid them across the bottom of the door and stacked them on top of each other," one student told NBC4.
The building was on lockdown for several hours while police searched for the suspects. Police say it appears the men made it out of the building before officers arrived.
The two men did get away with some money. Students said that tuition was due on Thursday, so the suspects may have known that there would be money in the building.
