ISTANBUL, May 1 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Two bank employees were fatally shot by a masked assailant during a robbery in the US state of Kentucky on Thursday, with the suspect still at large, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
Kentucky State Police said the suspect entered a US Bank branch on Chestnut Street in Berea on Thursday, fatally shooting two employees before fleeing the scene.
"We understand the citizens of Berea and in Madison County. They're scared right now, and we're scared for them," Kentucky State Police Trooper Scottie Pennington said.
"We want to do our best to find this person and bring him to justice."
Authorities said it remains unclear whether the suspect stole anything or how he fled and urged residents to stay vigilant, lock their doors and report any suspicious activity.
"We don't want this to lead to more victims," Pennington said.
"We hope he just turns himself in."
