Keno players robbed at Embassy Suites
Two men with a gun robbed players in the Keno room of the Embassy Suites in Charleston on Tuesday night, police said.
Around 11 p.m., the suspects asked a man and a woman who were playing Keno if they had ever been robbed, said Sgt. Aaron James of the Charleston Police Department.
The victims thought the men were joking and said no. The men said, "You're being robbed," and demanded money from the victims, according to police.
One the robbers had a gun and chambered a round into it. The suspects got away with one player's wallet before leaving in an unknown direction.
