Police say a WKU student was one of two suspects killed after robbing the First State Bank in Gallatin on Saint Patrick's Day.

Police on Thursday said the two suspects who died after a shootout with Gallatin police were David Christopher Cotton of Brentwood and Jonathan Ryan Skinner, a Western Kentucky University student. Both were 20 years old.

Patrol car video of the police chase released Thursday showed one of the suspects leaning out of the passenger window of the getaway car and firing several shots at police.

The suspects later ran into a field and exchanged fire with officers. Police said Cotton committed suicide.

Police have linked Cotton with a Christmastime bank holdup by a man in a Santa suit.

Police credited information from the FBI with linking Cotton to the Dec. 22 Santa robbery in Nashville.
