The Houston Police Department said three masked gunmen made their way into the game room, where a security guard tried fighting them off, but was shot in the arm.

The guard, a patron, and a pregnant worker were then held at gunpoint while the robbers used dollies to load up the gaming machines and took off in a white moving truck.
