HOMESTEAD, Fla. — A gunfight outside a Florida bank Thursday left a robbery suspect dead and sent a security guard to the hospital, police said.
Two armed suspects approached two armored truck guards at a Wachovia bank branch in Homestead, Miami-Dade police said. The suspect was killed after a shootout with the guards, police said. One guard was in stable condition in a Homestead hospital, but police did not say how he was injured.
Authorities are searching for the other armed suspect, but did not release any other details.
Aerial television news footage showed a crashed white van, the windshield riddled with bullets.
On Wednesday, an armored van guard was hospitalized after being shot several times during an attempted robbery outside a suburban West Palm Beach bank.
