The FBI on Thursday released surveillance video of a shootout as a group of gunmen tried to rob an armored truck earlier this week in south suburban Country Club Hills.

As CBS 2's Tara Molina reported, the video showed just how fast it all happened — And how easily someone could have been hurt.

The FBI said Loomis armored truck guards were conducting a money transfer in front of the Walmart at 167th Street and Pulaski Road around 10:20 a.m. Monday, when a sedan sped up, and suspects began shooting at the guards, who returned fire.

The video footage released by the FBI on Thursday was taken from a camera on the armored truck. It shows a silver Nissan sedan pulling up alongside the armored truck, and three of the car's doors opening.

A man in a hoodie can be seen getting out of the front passenger's side, pointing a gun at the truck, and firing shots.

As several shots are heard, the sedan starts to drive off, with one of the three robbers running alongside. That's when the armored truck starts to move, crashing into the sedan. A man in the back seat can be seen firing a gun over the roof of the car at the armored truck, before three men bail out of the Nissan and run off.

The FBI said a security guard inside the Walmart also fired at the suspects.
