RALEIGH, N.C. -

A suspect is on the run after allegedly robbing a Raleigh Sun Trust bank and then firing a gun at witnesses.

Raleigh Police said shortly after 3:30 p.m., an armed man entered the bank located at 3620 Six Forks Road and committed a robbery.

After leaving the bank, the man fired gunshots at witnesses who were attempting to follow him. Police say no one was struck by the gunfire.

The suspect is described as a black male in his 20's to 30's, who stands about 5'6" and weighs about 140 pounds. He was wearing a black hoodie, jeans, and white tennis shoes.

He is believed to have fled the scene in a pick-up truck with faded dark green paint. Police say the truck is believed to be a 70's or 80's model, possibly a Ford and had a white camper shell.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Raleigh PD at (919) 996-3555 or CrimeStoppers at (919) 834-HELP.

The North Carolina Bankers Association offers a reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of any individuals who were involved.

    Did this truck have kind of a shiny tint on all windows? I was walking at the Mall in Knightdale and saw a truck fitting this description. It was like a dark green faded paint, older model ford, but had that tint on all windows so I couldn't see who was driving it. This was around 11:15 a.m. yesterday, Tuesday.
