Girlfriend horribly watched boyfriend being held at gunpoint via facetime

A college student from Austin, Texas was robbed, hit and held at gunpoint at his apartment at 2300 block of Wickersham Lane, near East Riverside Drive. Yale Gerstein, was speaking to his girlfriend via face time when he heard scratching on the door. Curious about the disturbing sound, he opened the door, and three men came barging in. The men were armed and were shouting as they evade the apartment.

She was  terrified and heard one of the suspects said: " I'm going to blow your head off, I'm going to kill you." The suspects were looking directly at the camera and this made her more nervous. Luciani started to grab screenshots of her boyfriend and the robbers' act of violence. She then sends it to 911. The facetime connection was lost later because one of the suspects disconnected the computer.   

Yale Gerstein said: "They were hitting me in the head with the pistol saying 'face down.'" Gerstein said. "Just don't get shot, just don't get shot... that was on my mind." in the KXAN.COM report.
