Police say the crime spree started at 11 a.m. as a bank robbery at 1stBank located at 1940 South Kipling in Lakewood. The bank employees were put inside a vault while the suspects took money from the bank.

At least one of the suspects was wearing a “Scream” mask possibly two, similar to a bank robbery in Lakewood on Sept. 30. The FBI says the suspects had the same kind of violent techniques, same takeover style as the robbery at the US Bank on Carr Street.

The FBI says the robbers got away in a stolen Jeep Liberty but abandoned that vehicle and got into a Chevy Tahoe. That SUV went off the road and they got stuck.

The suspects then carjacked a vehicle from in front of a man’s home on [South] Vance. St

The suspects shot a man and then stole his silver Chrysler van.

The suspects drove the van to the Sheridan Rec Center where they shot a person at random outside the rec center. The suspects assaulted another person outside the facility. It is unclear whether there was an altercation between the victims and suspects.

“It was a total random shooting, it was nobody that was involved in any of this,” Davis said.

Officers searched a two-mile radius surrounding the rec center that included Sheridan High School.

Davis said it’s unclear whether there are two or three suspects. The identity of the suspect in custody has not been released.
