DALLAS, TX (AP) -- Police have identified the suspect killed by a security guard in an attempted bank robbery in south Dallas.

Police on Wednesday said the suspect was 31-year-old Christopher Sebastian Jones.

Jones was fatally shot Tuesday inside a bank after exchanging gunfire with a security guard. He entered a branch of Chase Bank and shot at the security guard, who was grazed in the upper body but not seriously injured. The guard, who has not been identified, returned fire.

Members of a police tactical unit entered the bank after seeing a woman hiding under a desk. Officers then found Jones' body.
