OKLAHOMA CITY -- Paul Dill was in the wrong place at the wrong time. His body shop is located near Rockwell and I-40 in Oklahoma City. It sits close another body shop which police say was a target for three men.
One of those men spotted Dill walking in an alley near the shop and asked Dill about the shop's owner.
Dill told the man, "I said he had passed away on Saturday and he needed to go on his own way."
Instead two other men appeared and the men pulled an assault rifle on Dill. He says, "They threatened to shoot me if I didn't do what they wanted. Yelled open that door, open that door."
Dill told them he didn't have a key. The men forced Dill to knock. A bit later, the door opened.
That's when Dill says, "They went for the door and I took off running."
Dill's wife, Julia Dill felt something was wrong and stepped outside their shop to take a look.
She says, "I heard some yelling and I saw my husband running like crazy toward the garage here saying get the door down, get the door down they've got a gun."
Dill called 911 from the safety of his shop.
When officers arrived, they found Korey Kruta, Dominic Cook, and Jonathan White inside the building.
They say the men used the rifle and some duct tape to hold and rough up three people who were inside the shop.
One of which was the owner's widow.
They are now facing kidnapping and robbery charges.
Everyone is ok, but it's a situation Dill plans to never let happen again saying, "I've gone and purchased some security systems. Cameras should be in today."
