San Antonio, Texas -- Police are looking for three thieves who broke up a high-stakes poker game with gunfire overnight.
The game was going on at a home in the 9000 block of Laguna Rio, on the far west side.
Police say the masked men broke through the back door and fired several shots. They forced ten players up against a wall.
According to police, each player had put down $300 at the beginning of the game, so the gunmen stole the entire $3,000 amount. They also shot one player twice in the chest.
"According to the witnesses, he got in the way when they were trying to get money out of the file cabinet, where they hold the money during the game," said Sgt. David Berrigan of SAPD.
The gunmen ran off after the shooting. The man who was shot is now recovering in the hospital.
