A man who attempted to carry out an early morning robbery inside the Scotiabank located at Sam Sharpe Square in Montego Bay, St James was shot and killed by a security guard.

The deceased is yet to be identified by the police.

It is reported that about 8:45 a.m., the man, who was armed with a knife, forced his way inside the bank as it opened for business and jumped across the counter.

It is further reported that he then held the knife to the neck of a teller and demanded money.

During the incident, the bank's security alarm was triggered, alerting the security company.

The man subsequently attempted to escape on foot but was cornered at the entrance and he ran back inside the bank.

He was chased and he allegedly attacked the bank's security team and was shot.

The injured man was rushed to the Cornwall Regional Hospital where he died while being treated.

They deposited a bullet directly into his fucking head. Mission accomplished , everyone go the fuck home.

I was kinda laughing at the dude in the blue shirt who was just sitting there. Even the cameraman had the sense to try and step out when the shot rang out, but THAT dude was DETERMINED to keep his place in line. Wait, did this take place at the DMV , cause then Id completely understand.

My mom works at a bank, I worry about her. Her bank has been held up before, but that incident happened on her day off when she wasn't there. Her co worker had a gun pointed at his head, register robbed then the suspect demanded his car keys and took his car. They recovered the vehicle, arrested the perpetrator, but after he got his vehicle back he didn't want to be in that car again and was able to trade it in. Be kind to your local bank tellers, some of them have been through some very scary situations.
