There was a robbery outside the Double Eagle I heard the gun shots. They robbed an employee of the casino ran him over and then opened fire. The robbers deserve to stay behind bars where they belong. What is this world coming too? I can't believe someone would be that ignorant to commit such a horrible crime. Its scary when you have to worry about psycho's robbing you when you leave your job. We are all hard working employee's in cripple creek and if people are so desperate to get a few bucks maybe they should try getting a job. People who want jobs get jobs those who don't just have another excuse to stay unemployed. I hope the punks that did this stay in jail for a long time it would be doing society a favor.
