Shielded by bullet-proof glass, a teller in the drive-in booth at the Jefferson-Gravois Bank Friday ignored and ran from gunman who said he would "shoot to kill" if he didn't get money. He got nothing. The teller, Mrs. Edna L. Sudmeier, 48, told police a well-groomed young man drove up at 12:55 p.m. and handed her a note, saying "This is a holdup. Put $5, $10, and $20 in the tray. One sound and I'll shoot to kill." Seeing the gun in his hand, Mrs. Sudmeier said noghting and ran. As she did, she told police "I heard him gun the monitor."
