Shot Fired In Credit Union Hold Up

Tulsa Police are looking for a suspect they say robbed a south Tulsa credit union full of people.  The News On 6's Ashli Sims reports it is the second time in less than a year the business has been hit.

The suspect was pretty bold.  The credit union was full of people, sandwiched between a fast food restaurant and a pizza place, near a busy intersection and it was still daylight.

Nonetheless, Tulsa Police say the suspect strolled in and demanded cash from the Credit Union Service Center near 61st and Mingo.

Two Tulsa mothers raced to the credit union, after frantic calls from their daughters.

"She was distraught, panicking, I could hardly understand what she was saying," said the mother of one teller.

"I couldn't understand what she was saying.  And then, she hung up on me and I panicked," explained another teller's mom.

A 20-year-old teller and an 18-year-old teller were inside the Credit Union Service Center along with four or five others when police say a man came in wearing a camouflage mask and demanding cash.

Investigators say he got the money and fired a shot into the wall that actually hit the ceiling of the Taco Bell next door. 

No one was hurt.

"You could tell all of them were very shaken up over the whole ordeal," said one parent.

Tulsa Police say the suspect left a white ball cap at the scene before speeding off in a 2001 Ford Explorer with the license plate 910-JAO.

Officers hope someone might recognize either the hat or the car and call police at 596-COPS.

Both of these moms say their daughters are fairly new to the credit union. One mother tells the News On 6 she gives God the glory for protecting her daughter. Both hope this scary experience won't shake the girls' love for their jobs.
