said he, his chief-of-staff and an intern were

early today in downtown Harrisburg.

Two men, one of whom was holding a gun, approached Jaret Gibbons of Ellwood City, chief-of-staff Kevin Bowser and Slippery Rock University student Charles Goodall, and ordered the three to lay on the ground and empty their pockets around 12:30 a.m. across from the South Street parking garage, Gibbons said.

Gibbons said he was taking personal items from his car to his apartment before he was about to park his car at the capitol complex for the week. His staff was helping him, he said.

One of the men pointed a silver revolver at Bowser's head, Gibbons said.

After collecting wallets, cell phones and other items, the robbers took Goodall's Pontiac G6 and drove away, police said. City police arrested the suspects in Allison Hill and most of the stolen items were recovered, Gibbons said.

No one was hurt, Gibbons said.

Gibbons said he and his staff identified the two men who robbed them. City police have not confirmed an arrest was made. A message left with Harrisburg police Lt. Robert Fegan was not immediately returned.

"It was certainly frightening," said Gibbons, a third-term Democrat who represents parts of Beaver, Lawrence and Butler counties. "It was nerve-racking and thankfully there was a positive outcome to a bad situation.
