Last update: October 7, 2008 - 6:56 PM

Police are looking for three men who stormed a downtown Minneapolis chiropractic office Tuesday and tied up and robbed the owner and several customers who walked in.

One of the intuders was wearing a Halloween mask, similar to the one worn in the movie "Scream," when they went into the office on the 1500 block of LaSalle Avenue about 10:30 a.m, said Minneapolis police spokesman Sgt. Jesse Garcia.

As they tied up the owner, three other people came into the clinic. All of the victims were tied up and robbed of wallets, jewelry and keys.

The owner was shot in the head with a BB gun the robbers were using, but he was not seriously injured, Garcia said.
