A report from 6-ABC Action News said the shooting happened outside of the Bank Of America branch on the 1900 block of South Columbus Boulevard at around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon.

According to police, the driver pulled up to make a delivery to an ATM in the bank’s driveway. When he got out of the truck, a gold or tan sedan backed into the driveway blocking the truck’s path. Two suspects jumped out of the car and went for the driver. A struggle ensued between the victim and one of the suspects, and that was when the driver was shot.

The bullet missed the driver’s vest and entered his body on the side. The driver was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was last reported to be in critical condition.

The suspects reportedly took the driver’s gun before fleeing the scene. Police believe up to three suspects may have been at the scene. No arrests have been reported at this time.
