5/2/2003

A 43-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint yesterday by two men who confronted him in a parking lot outside a Bedford Township party store.

Monroe County sheriff's deputies said the victim was leaving Ella's Beer Store, 6517 South Telegraph Rd., about 3 p.m. when he was approached by two masked men with handguns.

They ordered him to lie on the ground, took his money, and searched his vehicle. One of the assailants fired a gunshot to flatten a tire on the victim's car. The pair then fled west to a mobile home park.
