Three masked bank robbers shot a security guard, starting a shootout in a bank Tuesday morning that wounded a teller and a customer before the suspects fled, authorities said.The suspects were only in the bank for four or five minutes and got away with a small amount of cash, Deputy Police Chief Michael Shields said. He said police were checking the license plate of a vehicle caught on surveillance tape leaving the area.
The three victims -- a male security guard, a teller and a female customer -- were all hospitalized in either serious or critical condition, Shields said.
"Due to the extreme amount of violence in this crime," the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for their arrests, FBI spokesman Frank Botche said. He said authorities believe the same suspects may have been involved in another bank robbery two weeks earlier.
