Seeking Information on Bank Robbery in Minneapolis

On Monday, April 13, 2009, at approximately 4:30 pm, the US Bank located at 4930 34th Avenue South in Minneapolis, Minnesota was robbed by two individuals, one of whom carried a black, long-barreled handgun. The robbers entered the bank through the western door and ordered customers and employees to the ground. The gunman covered the lobby with the handgun while the other robber leaped over the counter and grabbed stacks of cash lying on the counter. He then jumped back over the counter and exited the bank through the same door that they entered with the gunman following behind him. They were last seen fleeing on foot through an alley adjacent to the bank in a northbound direction. 

The first robber is described as a black male in his 20’s, approximately 6’ and 190 pounds.
