During the night between Sunday and Monday, three men broke into a house in North Carolina (USA) where a poker game with around 30 people was held. The three robbers were all armed, 2 of them had handguns and one had a rifle. The man with the rifle used his rifle butt to knock down 2 of the poker players before firing a shot into the wall and demanding the other poker players to lay down on the floor.
The robbers then escaped with an unknown amount of money from the house, and still the police haven't been able to catch anyone of them. However, the police are going to continue the search for the three men until they get some results according to Winston-Salem Journal in North Carolina.
