Three armed intruders who robbed the house of a Charlotte Bobcats guard while he was away at a basketball camp broke in and held his wife at gunpoint, the Charlotte Observer reports. Stephen Jackson's wife, Renata, was then locked in a bathroom, and the men proceeded to steal valuables. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say they don't know why the $1.7 million house, which is in a gated community, was targeted.
