On Tuesday, October 15, 2013, at approximately 10:28 a.m., a lone black male entered the PNC Bank branch at 4855 Briarcliff Road in Atlanta, Georgia, and, while pointing a large-framed semi-automatic handgun at a teller, announced a robbery.

After obtaining an undisclosed amount of money, the robber departed the bank without further incident.
