CENTRALIA — A Centralia police spokesman says the man police believed was holed up at a credit union after a failed bank robbery is not in the building and has fled the scene.
Centralia police spokesman officer John Panco said the man is considered armed and dangerous. He said the man may be hurt from broken glass. Search teams, with K-9 dogs, have been dispatched.
Shortly after 11 a.m., a SWAT team stormed the credit union branch using flashbangs, but no one was inside.
Pasco said the incident began about 6:45 a.m. today when an officer responded to a report of a suspicious man at the TwinStar credit union, fired two shots and pulled away an employee who said she had been threatened at gunpoint.
