Police continued to search Tuesday night for two robbers sought after an armored-car driver was shot and killed inside the Lakewood Wal-Mart store, sending customers and employees diving for safety while the thieves fled with a bag of cash.
Witnesses and investigators said a robber walked up to a guard with Loomis Armored and shot him in the head. Then he and a second man fled with a bag of cash. The guard was identified as 39-year-old Kurt Husted, a 16-year veteran of the company's Tacoma office.
A man nearby who was holding a small child also was shot. That man, who had the child on his right shoulder, was wounded in the left shoulder and fell to the ground. He was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The child was not hurt.
The robbers' getaway car was found abandoned in the 6600 block of South Monroe Street in Tacoma a few hours after the robbery. Police continued to hunt for the pair into the night.
One of the robbers was described as about 6 feet tall, of average build and wearing a white hat with colored trim, a long-sleeved white shirt and black pants. The second was described as 6-foot-2, wearing a blue baseball hat, bluejeans and a blue short-sleeved shirt over a white T-shirt. Both men are African American.
The two entered the store at 7001 Bridgeport Way about 1:30 p.m. while one Loomis guard was inside. His partner waited in the truck parked near the main entrance.
