A father and son have both died after robbing a Connecticut bank and then being found with gunshot wounds following a six-hour standoff with police, according to authorities.
Shaun Fallon, 56, and his 27-year-old son Zachary Fallon wore medical masks as they threatened a teller at the Chelsea Groton Bank in Groton at around 10:30 a.m. last Thursday, fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to police.
Cops finally found the getaway car at a nearby Super 8 Motel around six hours later — sparking a standoff as the father and son claimed they “were armed with both firearms and explosives and refused to surrender,” Groton police said.
“Two gunshots were heard inside the suspects’ hotel room” around six hours into the standoff, police said, with drones confirming that “both suspects were incapacitated by apparent gunshot wounds.”
A bomb squad finally cleared entry to the room, hours after the motel had been cleared of other visitors.
However, no explosives were found, police said, without detailing what weapons the pair had.
