As they were driving by they came across an ATM machine inside the Bank , i had already transferred the money to them but they didn’t get an alert ,probably because of network so they still kept me .
One of the policemen Entered the bank to check if they had been credited .
After awhile, he was coming towards the Van giving the others signal that he has seen the alert .
Suddenly someone shot him from behind ,he fell down and was bleeding Profusely . We were all surprised not knowing that bank was being robbed and people were taking hostage .
