Robbers hold up Milwaukee church bingo hall - JSOnline


Masked, armed robbers terrorized players at a south side bingo hall Friday night when they stormed into the hall and began demanding women's purses at gunpoint, witnesses and police said.
The robbery was reported shortly after 9 p.m. at the bingo hall for St. Rafael the Archangel parish at S. 31st St. and W. Lincoln Ave., said 2nd District Police Lt. Phil Henschel. No one was injured during the incident, which involved multiple robbers and multiple victims, Henschel said. The robbers escaped with an undetermined amount of cash, and police were searching for them late Friday, Henschel said.
More than 100 players were in the hall when the robbery took place, witnesses said.
Witnesses said as many as three robbers wearing Halloween masks stormed into the hall shortly after 9 p.m. and at least one was armed with what appeared to be a handgun. One woman who had not played bingo at the church hall in years said one of the robbers put a handgun to her daughter's face before grabbing her purse and fleeing.
