California bank employee's cryptic message sparks 15-hour hostage standoff
A bank hostage situation in Bakersfield, California, ended after a roughly 15-hour standoff when the FBI killed the armed suspect, who had threatened with a bomb and taken multiple hostages. The suspect, a dishonorably discharged Army veteran with a criminal history, barricaded himself on the second floor, where he held five hostages and made demands. Authorities evacuated nearby buildings and negotiated with him until authorities intervened due to his erratic behavior and concerns over a hostage's health. All the hostages were ultimately released and reunited with their families.
