One customer apparently hesitated as a female bank manager pleaded with everyone to keep calm and follow instructions.
The witness says one of the suspects then fired a shot into the ceiling. Police say a total of two shots were fired. The men apparently made it inside the vault and made off with a large sum of money.
One woman said she saw a large bag being carried out before the suspects fled north on Bay Parkway, on foot. One man was possibly wearing a mask, while the other may have had dark sunglasses and a ski hat.
Authorities say the despite the shots that were fired, no one was hurt in the robbery.
