State-mandated victim zone: ''No-guns'' Columbus bar, defenseless patrons robbed

The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that two armed men took over a North Side bar shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday morning, robbing the bar and its patrons before fleeing.

Columbus police told the Dispatch the two masked gunmen, walked into the Sunrise bar, 967 E. Hudson St., at 12:45 a.m., emptied the cash register and demanded that the patrons hand over their wallets, cash, cell phones and jewelry. The robber then ordered everyone into the bar's bathroom and fled.

Officers told the newspaper both men were wearing hooded jackets. One was wearing a black and white bandana, the other a Halloween mask.
