Crystal McKnight was one of the five victims.
"Dude came in told us that we had three seconds to open the door or they was going to shoot in the closet. At that time we came out. They made us take our clothes off and lay on the side of the bed," said McKnight during an interview on the day it happened. "They all had guns. They had a machete knife. They told us they were going to chop our heads off, and they were going to rape all of us."
McKnight said the men tormented them for several minutes before Atlanta police officers arrived.
Thanks to the 911 call, officers were waiting for the men when they ran out of the house. They got into a shootout with police. You can hear the gunshots on the call as the victim whispers for help.
Police shot two suspects, killing one of them. Police arrested one of the suspects.
Atlanta police are still searching for three other men who got away.
