Gram was shot Friday morning by a masked man who came through the bank's rear doors with a gun in one hand and a backpack in the other. He told customers to put their hands up and then jumped the counter, demanding that the tellers give him money.

After the gunman jumped the counter, his pistol fired, hitting Gram in the back, and he ran out the back door without taking any money.

Deputies located Ryan Layton, 20, of Quartz Hill, who they say matched the description of the gunman, hours later walking along a Quartz Hill street and he was identified as the gunman by witnesses, officials said.

A man taken into custody at a carwash near the bank while washing his car with a rag that resembled the scarf the gunman wore over his face was released, deputies said.

Layton was jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail on suspicion of attempted robbery and attempted murder In the criminal law, attempted murder is committed when the defendant does an act that is more than merely preparatory to the commission of the crime of murder and, at the time of these acts, the person has a specific intention to kill. .
