The robbery happened at the Fifth/Third Bank branch at 1 S. Wacker Dr. at Madison Street, according to the FBI.
The bank branch is on the ground floor of a prominent office high-rise designed by Helmut Jahn. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange building is located right across the street, and the Civic Opera House is located kitty-corner.
The suspect fired shots and the security guard was grazed in the right hand, police said. The security guard took out his own gun and fired at the suspect, but he was not struck, police said. Back at the bank, numerous bullet holes were seen in the glass revolving doors at the entrance, and broken glass littered the ground nearby.
