SOMERVILLE, MASS. (WHDH) - A Rhode Island man who police say opened fire on officers while committing a bank robbery in Somerville earlier this year has been indicted by a federal grand jury, officials announced Thursday.
Daniel Rosado, 32, of Providence, was indicted on charges including armed bank robbery, one count of brandishing and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling.
Rosado allegedly entered the Middlesex Federal Savings Bank on May 1, brandished a gun and fired a shot into the ceiling before ordering a teller to load a backpack with cash.
While the teller was filling the backpack, prosecutors say a customer left the bank and flagged down an officer.
The officer approached Rosado and they exchanged gunfire as Rosado fled the area down College Avenue.
A witness attempted to tackle Rosado to the ground and succeeded in getting him to drop the backpack that contained a Webley revolver, loaded with four unfired rounds of ammunition, and two cartridge casings, as well as more than $500, police say.
Rosado has prior felony convictions for negligent operation of a motor vehicle, larceny, witness intimidation and assault by means of a dangerous weapon.
