Geron Wade stated that the man entered the casino at the corner of Bancroft Street and Southwest Higgins Avenue around that hour. He also went on to say that there were few people in the casino, when the man pointed a shotgun at an employee, and ordered him to get the money. Luckily no one was hurt, as no shots were fired.
