Scotty McCreery Held Up by Gunmen

Scotty McCreery and several friends were held up by gunmen at an apartment in Raleigh, N.C. Monday morning.

The singer, a student at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, was visiting with friends in a Raleigh apartment when three men broke in, holding up McCreery and four others, according to WRAL-TV. The North Carolina News Network reports that it was not McCreery's apartment.

Police say the break-in happened just before 2AM when the men forced their way inside the apartment. The 'Feelin' It' hitmaker and his friends were not hurt, but did lose their wallets and cell phones. Neighbors described the chaos to WTVD-TV.

"All you heard was yelling like 'Who are you? What are you doing here? ' for a good five minutes," one woman said. "It was just yelling."

Scotty made this statement on his Facebook page earlier this afternoon:  About last night's robbery:  "Yes, it was definitely a very scary night. Luckily, my friends and I are safe and the Raleigh PD is on the case.
I will share more when the time is right, but as of now we do not want to do or say anything that could hinder the investigation. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support. A huge thank you to the Raleigh PD for their quick response and hard work in solving this case."

McCreery has just finished his second year at NC State, splitting time between school and his music career. Last week was final exams week at the university. The incident came after a long day of travel for the 20-year-old. According to his website he'll resume touring on Friday in Bakersfield, Calif.
