excerpt, for those who don't wish to register:

"Suddenly, the attacker was knocking at the door with another man, whom one of Mr. Rzepnicki's friends recognized. Not knowing that the attacker was armed and holding the other man at gunpoint, Mr. Rzepnicki allowed the two into the apartment.

Then the gunman rounded all six people up and demanded money, said Mr. Rzepnicki, who told him he had none to give him.

"Then he said strip and everyone stripped," said Mr. Rzepnicki, who said he had recognized the gunman from the neighborhood. The man ordered Mr. Rzepnicki into his bedroom and pointed the gun at his head, he said. At that moment, Booboo Kitty approached the gunman, Mr. Rzepnicki said.

Mr. Rzepnicki said he asked him not to hurt the cat, but the gunman picked her up, he said. She hissed at him and scratched his hand. He dropped her and then chased her into the living room, at which point Mr. Rzepnicki made his escape, running naked out of the apartment and down to the eighth floor, where he called the police from another apartment, he said."
