The Balch Springs Police Department announced Thursday afternoon that an arrest had been made in relation to Wednesday morning’s shooting outside a local bank. “A suspect has been apprehended in connection with this incident and is currently in custody,” said Police Chief Brent Hurley in a press release. “There is no ongoing threat to the public. The suspect’s identity is not being released due to the investigation and judicial process.” The police department says more information will be provided on Friday. The FBI Dallas Field Office on Thursday also said the armored security guard shot and critically injured during the robbery remains hospitalized. The federal agency provided no further updates on the search for the armed robber accused of opening fire on the armored security guard employee, only stating “the investigation is ongoing.” Meanwhile, the Chase Bank location along Lake June Road near I-635 reopened Thursday afternoon following the violent attack. NBC 5 spotted an armed Lomis employee working in the bank’s parking lot. While relatively rare, these high-profile positions are sometimes targeted by brazen robbers, according to FBI statistics. According to federal authorities, the victim, an armored security guard who is not being publicly identified, was exchanging money at the ATM in the bank’s drive-through area when an armed suspect dressed in black approached the guard, shot him and took off with a bag with an unknown amount of money. A witness who ran to help the injured man says she did not see a second security guard with the victim. NBC 5 spoke with employees at a hair salon who say they shared a bizarre situation with police in case there is a connection to the shooting. A woman, who asked not to be identified out of fear for her safety, says a suspicious man walked into the shop on Saturday and sat down in a chair without saying a word. “I went over to him, and I asked him what he wanted, but he just kept looking back there,” she said in Spanish, pointing to the back of the salon. Once police heard her account, she says they showed her pictures of the bank shooting suspect, which included a photograph of a tattoo on the back of his hand, and asked if it was the same man who came by on Saturday. She says she told authorities she could not say for sure if it was the same person. ...read more read less
