Source: St.迷你倉 Louis Post-DispatchSept. 20--UPDATED at 11:20 a.m. with information on bullet not penetrating trooper's vest; and account on what robber told bank customersST. CHARLES COUNTY --A Missouri Highway Patrol trooper and a bank robbery suspect shot each other this morning near New Melle.The bullet fired at the trooper's chest didn't penetrate his bulletproof vest.The 26-year-old trooper was shot "square in the chest, but the bullet did not break the vest he was wearing," said Sgt. Al Nothum of the Highway Patrol. "He should be fine, maybe a little bruising."The 64-year-old robbery suspect was hit at least once, maybe a couple times, in the legs, Nothum said. Authorities said they didn't think the suspect's injuries were life-threatening.Both the trooper and the suspect were taken to a hospital. Police did not release the names of the suspect or trooper. The trooper has been with the patrol about three years.The shootout happened along Highway F, about a mile from New Melle.The trooper had heard a description of a bank robber's getaway car and tried to stop the car near the intersection of Highway F near Route D in St. Charles County.The robbery happened Friday morning at the First Bank of Dutzow, in southeast Warren County.At 9:20 a.m. Friday, a man walked into the bank lobby and pulled out a handgun."You know what this is," he shouted, announcing the holdup, according to police."He had them put their hands up, and told the tellers to give him the top bills out of the trays," said Warren mini storageounty Sheriff Kevin T. Harrison.He told the tellers to make sure there were no dye packs in the bills they handed him."He had them fan the bills out on the counter to make sure" there were no dye packs hidden in them, Harrison added.He then ordered the tellers to go to the bank vault and only bring him $100 and $50 bills. He put the money into his duffle bag and ran out of the bank.But before he left, he warned them not to do anything for one minute."He said if anybody did anything, he would kill everyone in the bank," Harrison said.One of the bank customers was a man whose wife was sitting outside in their vehicle. She saw the robbery and called 911. She gave police a description of what was happening."She got out of the car and was looking in the bank window," Harrison said. "She calls 911 and gives them a play-by-play, going on as she watches through the window."She gave a good description of his clothing and the car he fled in. Another motorist saw the car, too, and gave police a partial number from the license plate."When the community gets involved, in a safe capacity as a good witness, it makes our job so much easier," the sheriff added.This was the second time since the early 1990s that this bank has been robbed. A firm that handles public relations for First Bank said the bank would not comment on any case under investigation by police.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Visit the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at .stltoday.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesself storage
