Conway Bank Robbery Leaves 2 Workers Dead: Cops

CONWAY, SC — Two bank workers were killed during what police say was a bank robbery in Conway, South Carolina.

The identities of the victims in Monday's deadly robbery are being withheld until their family members can be notified, Police Lt. Selena Small told local media groups. Details on how exactly the two workers were killed weren't revealed. A coroner's report is expected Tuesday.

Small didn't say how much money was taken. The bank sounded an alarm just after 1 p.m. Monday, as residents prepared for the solar eclipse over the area, Horry County, authorities said.
