Turning, he saw a woman, armed with an M-l carbine, kneeling on the pavement to pick up two ammunition clips and one or two cartridges. Seconds later, said Berzins, he was ordered by another woman robber to lie on the floor of the bank and never did get a good look at the person who dropped the bullets.
