Pennsylvania Poker Tournament Robbed at Gunpoint

Wilkins Township, Pennsylvania turned into the Wild West this week. Wednesday night, three men raided a poker tournament in the Township, robbing around fifty people.

The armed men, two wearing masks, assaulted the security guard at the Italian American Citizens Club in order to gain entry. They then proceeded to fire their weapons at the ceiling and ordered everyone to lie down on the floor.

The gunmen escaped with over $20,000. Aside from the security guard, no other injuries were reported.
