Police holding four people in church bingo robbery

[Feelin froggy]

Milwaukee police have four people in custody in connection with an armed robbery of a bingo game Friday night.

Just after 9 p.m. on Friday at Rafael the Archangel Congregation, 2273 S. 31st St, there were about 200 people in the bingo hall and five people were robbed. No one was injured.

Witnesses told a Journal Sentinel reporter that 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 said one of the robbers put the gun to her daughter's face before grabbing her purse and fleeing.

Nasty and in a church too.  You just can't believe how low some people will go for a few bucks. 

Makes me sick.
