Two people are dead after a bank robbery in Eufaula Thursday morning.

A McIntosh County deputy told News On 6 the deceased man is Randy Peterson, the bank president.

The suspect, 39-year-old Cedric Lamont Norris, was a man dressed in women's clothing, and he entered the bank about 9 a.m. and shot and killed Peterson, the FBI said. After shooting Peterson, he approached a bank teller and demanded money, according to the FBI.
