Worth Kendrick told police that two black men kicked in his door at 4 a.m., put a gun to his head before he told them he had money in his wallet.

The men took $400 and two flat screen TVs from his home.

Mr. Kendrick said he tried calling 911 more than 10 times but wasn’t able to get through until 4:28 a.m.
