As the employee began to come out, Sukhu shot the employee, who was injured in the hand.

Sukhu then also vaulted the counter and took money from the tellers, which he placed in a red and black bag. Said remained at the front door, armed with a handgun, and served as a look-out.

The robbers took $23,471 and fled from the bank in the truck. A witness called 911 and gave a description of the vehicle.

Law enforcement officers pursued the robbers at high speeds through four counties. The robbers eventually abandoned the truck in Montgomery County near Said's home and they fled on foot.

Sukhu later called 911 to falsely report that he had been the victim of a carjacking involving his pick-up truck, the same truck used in the robbery.

However, during a subsequent interview with police, Sukhu admitted participating in the robbery and admitted that he was the robber who fired the shotgun, injuring the bank employee, Rosenstein said.
