It's the talk of northwest Connecticut.

A lone gunman walked into a Bank of America branch in Kent, Connecticut, this morning and held up a teller at gunpoint.

The teller forked over some cash, and the man then left the bank with an "undisclosed" amount of money and drove south on route 7 in a blue vehicle.

State troopers sprang into action after the robbery and "secured the bank." They then began searching for the robber with K-9 teams and interviewing witnesses.

The man, thought to be a member of the 99%, was about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds. He was wearing a pea coat, a ski mask, and an impressive array of other headgear.

A blue Kia was later discovered in Amenia, New York, that police think might have been used in the robbery.

No one was hurt.

Bank of America's stock dropped 2% on the news.

(Or on some other news.)
