The People’s United bank on Main Street in Springfield, was robbed at gunpoint by a white male wearing an Adidas hoodie.

According to the report, a weapon was displayed and the suspect fled with cash and products from the store at around 3:40 a.m.

NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it.
