Video: Shots fired during Butterfield Bank robbery

Three men who pulled off a daring bank heist in broad daylight Wednesday are still on the loose.

The bandits, wearing Halloween masks and carrying guns, walked into the Butterfield bank branch at the Compass Centre just before 11:30am, one of the men fired a shot into the ceiling and ordered everyone down onto the ground.

The men then demanded cash, and fled with an unspecified amount of money.

No one was injured in the incident but several customers and employees were visibly shaken by the ordeal including a pregnant teller who was taken to the hospital for observation and released later in the day.

All three robbers are said to have dark complexions and were wearing dark clothes. One of the men was wearing a President Obama mask.
