WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (CBS4)- Wheat Ridge police hope new surveillance photos will help them identify the man they say shot a woman during an attempted robbery at an ATM early Wednesday morning.

Officials say it happened around 5 a.m. Wednesday at the Chase Bank near W. 38th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.

Investigators say the victim had to get out of her vehicle to use the ATM at the bank. That's when she noticed a man with a handgun approaching her on a bike, so she got back into her car in an attempt to get away.

Police say the suspect opened the car door and fired one round at the woman.

She was shot in the shoulder, but managed to get away. She drove herself to Lutheran Hospital for treatment and was released.

Her four-year-old son was in the car at the time of the shooting but was unharmed.
