Members of a British rock band said they were robbed on Tuesday in Vallejo, just as they were starting their U.S. tour.
The band, Sports Team, posted video of what happened on X. In the video, a person is heard yelling, "Get down, ring the police, ring the police!"

Bandmembers told the BBC that someone pointed a gun at their tour manager.
KTVU reached out to Vallejo police for comment but did not hear back.

LOL..
“Cats That Headbutt Their Owners Are Actually Trying To Give Them An Important Message”
That’s a post I would accidentally make. 😁
Less known incident in Africa of Paul McCartney and wife held at gunpoint.
Prior to making Band on the Run, Paul McCartney decided to head to Nigeria to work on this album. What was meant to be an inspiring change of scenery soon turned sour.
After working on the album McCartney and his then-wife and bandmate, Linda, walked home. As they got closer, a car pulled up beside them, seemingly offering them a lift home. After one of the passengers flashed a knife, the pair quickly realized this wasn’t the act of a Good Samaritan.
“There’s, like, about four or five of them and then there’s a little one and he’s got a knife,” McCartney once said. “So we go, ‘Oh, you’re not offering us a lift at all! You’re robbing us.’ So I had all my demo cassettes for the album and they took them all… I had to remember the songs. Luckily I did. I’d written them not too long ago so I’d kind of remembered them.”
That’s not the name of the band?
And here I thought ‘Cats that headbutt their owners” was the nam of the band.
