Reporting
Sally Thorner
LAUREL, Md. (WJZ/AP) ― Prince George's County police say four men armed with semiautomatic weapons have robbed a bank in Laurel.

Sally Thorner reports police spokesman Cpl. Stephen Pacheco says four men dressed in dark clothing and carrying assault rifles entered the Bank of America on Montrose Avenue around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday and took an unknown amount of money.

Pacheco says they fled in a Jeep. He says a bank security guard fired his weapon, hitting the vehicle.

A short time later, Pacheco says witnesses told police the suspects switched to another car. Police say it was either a black Toyota or a black Cadillac Escalade.

No one was injured. Police are investigating.
