Surveillance Video Shows Bank Robber Shot By Cop
Madisonville, OH - Charges will not be filed against an off-duty Cincinnati Police officer who shot and killed a bank robbery suspect in Madisonville Wednesday, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced Friday.
Deters released internal surveillance video from inside the Fifth Third Bank on Madison Road. It shows officer Kevin Hankerson pull his service weapon as 20-year-old Terry Frost jumps over the teller’s counter. Watch the bank surveillance video at this link.
Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac says Frost pointed a gun, covered by a plastic grocery bag, at the teller and officer. At some point in the ordeal, the weapon misfired because Frost had the wrong ammunition inside.
The prosecutor said Hankerson was "absolutely justified" in firing two shots at Frost. Hankerson showed a “tremendous act of bravery” in pushing the female teller out of harm’s way, he said.
Six people were inside the bank during the attempted robbery.
Frost fled to a nearby wooded area where police found him dead. The gunshot entered his back and exited through his chest, according to Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco.
The bank teller had just removed $90,000 from the ATM, authorities said. Deters suspects Frost knew the money had just been withdrawn.
“The speed in which he got to that money – it literally was two seconds from the time he entered that door. So he was in a full sprint and then vaulted himself over the counter,” said Deters. “He was going after something. I mean, if it was a normal bank robbery he’d be going up and handing a note to somebody and that’s the end of it. This was not normal.”
Chief Isaac showed Frost’s family the surveillance video before Friday’s press conference. He described relatives as “very visibly shaken” and sad.
“This 20-year-old man committed a senseless and violent act. But he’s still somebody’s kid. And I think the chief would agree with me that it’s still a very sad time for his family,” said Deters.
Hankerson worked security detail for the bank. He is on administrative leave, per department policy.
Bank robber Frost is on ice. film at 11.
Now we know why MOST banks have high counters and/or windows.
When are the riots scheduled to begin?
Cop was on this Ahole from the moment he came in the door.
At around 10 seconds watch the customer smile at the cop as he takes aim at the perp.
Looks like everyone was all the same race so they wont
Sounded like he had inside information and maybe even a signal to make his run.
I was kind of wondering the same thing.
Did the robber have inside info as to when the ATM would be serviced?
Never could understand why a col would be inside the bank instead of outside where visible from the street. Bad guys go by. No one gets hurt. Once they’re inside, all bad. A roll of the dice who gets it.
Yep, my thoughts exactly.
Review security video 10-15 min prior to perp’s entrance, look for cell phone users who are focusing on bank teller.
"Terry Frost’s father, Terry Frost II, said Thursday his son made a mistake but didn’t deserve to die."
The third made more than one mistake.
It was an inside job
Someone inside called the robber to tell him when to enter and make the robbery
I suspect it was the teller or the man in the yellow hat
I’m working with a thirty-something white man. Yesterday he was adamant and extremely angry that cops targeted black men. Here’s the kicker. He does not like black people. He would be careful to tell you that he’s not prejudiced. Only Republicans hate black people because of the color of their skin. He hates blacks because they (fill in litany here.) But, and this is the crucial part, not because they are black. It’s because they all (fill in litany here.)
I am the same way. Rather than get banned on Free Republic for my racist views that are not at all racist, I declared my self to be a culturist. I point out the various subcultures of black people
There is in reality no black community beyond the minds of the truly racist leaders that must have homogenity to prevail in their racist efforts.
That is I do not condemn with a broad brush of racism but with the detail brush of Sub Culture.
There can be no comparison of similarity between Charles Payne of Fox Business with Trayvon Martin. there is no real similarity between Michael Jordan and Michael Brown. They can both be described as black but they come from different subcultures even though both are held in high esteem. The esteem for jordan is warranted. The esteem for Brown is not
Saying that, I don’t agree with the misguided judgement you referenced. It is a political judgement put in his mind by the black political subculture
Racism, call it what you like. It’s the “I’m better than you” attitude that has been around since Adam and Eve. Nothing new.
This is what I was referring to.
My credit union has an off duty copper on the premises during open
Hours. Manager told me it is expensive but she said she
Wants members and employees to feel safe. No robberies
To date just an embezzlement or two!
