Manila police said the incident took place at about 4pm inside the Banco de Oro in San Andres, Manila.

Prior to the tragic mishap, Ms Banera asked her colleague to cover her post at the entrance of the bank because she needed to go to the toilet.

Bank employees heard the gunshot, but assumed it was the sound of a toilet lid banging on the seat.
