WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - A man shot while trying to rob an armored vehicle outside a Waterloo bank branch has died and a suspected accomplice has been arrested, police said.
The shooting happened just before 10 a.m. Wednesday outside a U.S. Bank branch, police said. Police and medics who arrived on the scene found a man with gunshot wounds who was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. He died later, police said. He’s been identified as Bryce Miller, 37, of rural La Porte City.
The other man also was wounded and was caught later outside a Waterloo convenience store, police said. Court records don’t show that he’s been charged.
The initial investigation showed that a number of people in a vehicle tried to rob the Rochester Armored Car in the bank’s parking lot when the shootout began. Police later found the robbers’ vehicle abandoned a few blocks from the bank.
A manager at Rochester Armored Car said none of the company employees was injured.
