It happened around 4:45 Friday afternoon in the central part of town. A news release says police received a call about several people wearing masks and threatening people inside of a house. Investigators say Emily Rodriguez recruited Johnathan Mason, Jesus Patino, Adam Diaz-Archer and Austin Baker to fight the people inside the house.
