The men ordered frightened employees to the floor as they entered the building and fired shots into the air. Court documents show all three were carrying rifles. Two of the men made their way to the cashier's cage while one man held guards at gunpoint. As he got closer to the cage, the security guard was shot.
Before making off with $47,000, the men stole cash from multiple cash drawers in the casino. State police later reported that the stolen funds were discovered in East St. Louis, close to an abandoned getaway car.
