GALLATIN, Tenn. (AP) -- Police say two bank robbery suspects, including one dressed in a green leprechaun costume, have been shot dead after a St. Patrick's Day chase and shootout with police in Tennessee.
Sgt. Bill Storment said First State Bank in the Nashville suburb of Gallatin was held up by a costumed man at 12:28 p.m. Wednesday, and the suspects fired at police during a car chase. A news release said the two ran into a field and died when they exchanged fire with officers.
Sharon Riehemann, manager of the Fifth Third Bank next door, told The Associated Press that she saw a man in a green top hat, vest and shorts and a fake beard run away from First State Bank with a blue bag in his hands. She said he had just been in her bank but left without speaking.
