Four students at Morehouse College are making headlines after claiming that 911 hung up on them when they called pleading for help after being robbed and carjacked.
The carjacking took place Sunday at a gas station near Atlanta’s Atlanta University Center.
The Atlanta police department has audio of the phone calls and refutes the student’s claims that they were unresponsive.
APD says they answered four phone calls from one of the students but could not understand what the victim was saying. They also say that the caller hung up the phone himself after being placed on hold for 30 seconds.
The man who made the phone call was in the trunk of the car with another person while two of his friends were forced to the backseat.
The four men spoke to reporters Tuesday telling them that they called Morehouse campus police to save them and believe without their help they would’ve been killed.
Two men have been arrested in connection with the crime, 17-year-old Jevontay Fleetwood and a juvenile.
