Woman Killed, Man Hurt in Bank Robbery
A woman was killed and a man was injured by robbers at a Wells Fargo Bank on Friday afternoon.
The woman, a 34-year-old bank employee, died at Stanford Medical Center after she was shot in the abdomen. The man, who is in his 40s, is also a bank employee. He was shot in the left shoulder and was in stable condition, officials said.
Police said two or three men with handguns came in through the back door. The woman was trying to close a door to protect herself when she was hit by gunfire, and the man was hiding behind his desk, said Police Chief Gary Missel.
The masked men fled through the front door and into the city’s business district on Burlingame Avenue. They were at large Friday night.
Police said they had only a vague description of the suspects.
