Came up and forced the victim, into his house. As he left his child in the car he said get in the house okay. Get in the house. And its gun was pointed at me and i had the door shut and my son was in there. Once inside he was forced to the ground and zip tied as his elderly motherinlaw sat on the couch and three other men burst into the home and demanded cash and he was hit with the butt of the gun in the back and face. I could not even move on i tried to go. We dont believe, that this was a postal worker. Just someone wearing the postal worker uniform. The Armed Robbers got away with cash and other belongings and fled in two vehicles. Two vehicles we are looking for newer model buick luzerne black in color and tinted windows and a silver Pontiac Grand Prix with a spoiler on the back. The motive is unclear because he is an unemployed cook. And frequents casinos often. They could have watched hi mail or saw him leave the house at precise time and thought they could get him when he comes outs. He tells me his motherinlaw and young son were uninjured.

Reporter hey guys, the eagles have not even gotten to minneapolis yet and the distractions have already begun they said that just the ticket requests from friends and family is driving them nuts. They only get a few number of tickets and pay for them and book hotels for family members and really its quite stressful and add that to the things going around surrounding the super bowl. Lets look at practice, the guys prepping for the all mighty patriots and Doug Peterson is hard at work putting in the game plan. That they will do 85 of the game plan here and the other 15 for minneapolis to keep them fresh and ready and then when they get there they get hit with all the hoopla. We have a game to play and not a vacation next week, and you know, my massachusettsage to the team is just prepare this week as if we are playing this weekend but and then we can sort of fine tune some things. We have to stay on top of our game. And keep the grind, keep the intensity going right into next week. Reporter of course its crazy because this is new to Doug Peterson he was to the super bowl as a player but never as a coach. The patriots won five with this quarterback coach and combo and have been to eight. Coming up at sports at 5 30. Sal with how he is preparing for the biggest game of his career.
