The robber walked into the bank just before 3 and produced a gun and a note demanding cash. The teller handed over an undisclosed amount, police said.
On his way out, the suspect, who was not identified, was snared between the doors. The mantrap system could have been tripped by a bank employee, police said. The man fired his gun in an unsuccessful attempt to free himself. - Troy Graham
