"Through the door, I saw two people arrive, plus the night man who was tied up," she recalled, as quoted by People magazine.
"They dragged me out onto the hallway on top of the stairs," Kardashian recounted, adding, "That's when I saw the gun clear, like clear as day. I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs."Reflecting on her moment of fear, she added, "I had a split second to decide--do I try to run? But if I do, they might shoot me in the back. It makes me so upset to think about it."
The robbery was widely reported at the time, with many speculating about how the thieves had managed to gain access to Kardashian's apartment. (ANI)
