Two men, woman robbed at gunpoint in Seventh Avenue home

A man with a gun entered a home in the 3200 block of Seventh Avenue late Friday and robbed three people, Columbus police said.

None of the victims, two men and a woman, was injured in the 8:30 a.m. holdup.

Witnesses told police a short man pulled a pistol after entering the residence. He ordered them to empty their pockets and lie on the floor. After taking about $150, the robber asked for the rest of the money.

Police said the victims apparently were supposed to have a big payoff for a job earlier but only received a small portion.

The victims told police they had never seen the robber before Friday.

The robbery remains under investigation.
