30-Player Poker Match Robbed In Winston-Salem
It happened around 11:30 Sunday night in a building behind a home on Griffith Road.

One of the suspects then hit two of the players, 63-year-old James Mullin and 50-year-old Mark Bowen, with the butt of a shotgun. Both men fell on the floor and were robbed of their wallets. Police say the suspect then shot into the wall.
The suspects then ordered the 30 players on the floor and took their money.
Both men hit with the gun are expected to recover.
