Federal authorities have identified the black man and African-American woman they dubbed "Bonnie and Clyde" after they fired a shot and stole money from a Far West Side bank

Kamisha D. Thomas, 30, and Robert D. Gilmore III, 32, robbed the Fifth Third Bank just after 9 a.m. No customers were in the bank, said FBI Special Agent Harry Trombitas. Gilmore fired a shot into the ceiling with a silver-colored pistol, jumped over the counter and grabbed money from teller drawers. Thomas, who was armed with a black handgun, ordered employees to get on the floor. They left in a gray, four-door Chevrolet with no rear license plate. Both Gilmore and Thomas have been charged with felony aggravated robbery. A warrant is out for their arrest. Trombitas said that he could not remember any case in the past 20 years that has involved a man and a woman in a takeover robbery.
