On Sunday, officers responded to a robbery of an individual at the U.S. Bank located at 6000 Baseline Road. When they arrived, the victim, Maurice Smith, told officers he was using the ATM when he noticed a 2000 Ford Taurus pull into the parking lot.
Smith then told officers he went back to using the ATM when a man got between him and the ATM. The man pointed a gun at Smith and told him to give him his money.
Smith said he immediately pushed the handgun away from his face and accelerated to get away from the suspect, and as he began to drive away from the ATM, a shot rang out going through the passenger's side window.
As he was waiting on the officers to arrive, he checked around the inside of his vehicle for damage and located a pistol in his back seat area.
It appeared that as Smith accelerated, the door jam struck the arm of the first suspect, dislodging the weapon from his hand causing it to land in the backseat.
If you have any information you are asked to call the local authorities.
