Bank robbery suspect is being held without bail

ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- A bank robbery suspect is being held without bail after a confrontation with Mansfield police that ended when they shot and killed his alleged accomplice.

George Moore of Easton, Mass., the alleged getaway driver, was arraigned Friday in Attleboro District Court and pleaded not guilty to unarmed bank robbery.

Police said 20-year-old David Semenza of Easton was shot Thursday in a residential neighborhood about a mile from the bank he allegedly robbed. Police said Semenza confronted officers in "a threatening manner" and appeared to reach for a weapon.

The lawyer for the 21-year-old Moore said his client didn't know Semenza was robbing a bank until he saw him with the cash. Attorney Daniel Rich said Moore pulled over as soon as he saw police behind him and did exactly what they told him.
