Two men hunted, shot is fired in attempted robbery at bank
City police and agents of the Baltimore office of the FBI were seeking two men who attempted to rob a Loomis Armored employee while he was putting cash in an ATM outside a downtown bank yesterday afternoon. One of the would-be robbers might have been shot, authorities said.
Two gunmen accosted the armored truck employee about 3 p.m. outside the Bank of America in the 400 block of N. Charles St. as he was putting an undisclosed sum of cash in the bank's ATM, said Officer Troy Harris, a police spokesman. .
But another armored carrier employee who had remained in the vehicle drew his service weapon and fired at least one shot at the would-be robbers, Harris said. The pair fled in a black car. Harris said the uninjured guard told police he might have hit one of the men.
