A man entered a struggle with a suspect pointing a gun at him after meeting up with two women he met at SugarHouse Casino Saturday, according to authorities.
According to police, the man was with his friend when he met the two female suspects at the Fishtown casino around 6:15 a.m.
The man made an arrangement to meet the two women at 900 Canal St. When he pulled up to the location in his truck, they were inside a gold Buick Rendezvous.
When he entered the vehicle, a man emerged from the back seat and pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at him, telling him, "you know what this is."
A struggle ensued, and the complainant was able to get control of the gun.
During the tussle, a shot was fired. Police did not say if the complainant suffered any injuries or if anything was stolen from him.

She reportedly has tattoos on her arms and chest, with one reading "Aquarius" on her lower back. She was wearing a grey top and bottom.
The second female suspect is described as black with a medium complexion and was wearing a black top and tights.
There is no more available information on the black male suspect.
