An armored car employee is fighting for his life after he was shot outside a bank in Balch Springs.
Police say the shooting happened just after 8:30 a.m. Wendesday at a Chase Bank along Lake June Road, near I-635. Responding officers found the guard shot. He was treated by first responders at the scene and taken to the hospital in critical condition.
As with any robbery involving a bank, the Dallas FBI field office is going to take the lead in this investigation. They are still looking for the suspect, who officials said was described as wearing a black hoodie and pants, and a full facemask.
All law enforcement has - that they are telling us - is that it involves only one individual.
Nearby schools in the Mesquite ISD say they have been in contact with police and are not operating in a secure or lock-down status.
