Jacksonville, Florida: A bank robbery suspect who took 11 hostages on Thursday at a credit union in the north Florida city of Jacksonville, has been arrested and the hostages have been freed, the Sheriff's office has said.
An initial 911 call reporting a bank robbery came in at 9:06 a.m. A short time later, another call indicated that someone may have been shot, but the sheriff's office has been unable to confirm that, spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda.
Streets surrounding the bank were blocked by police and SWAT teams.
"Situations like these sometimes can be short and sometimes can be long," Bujeda said.
The bank is located in a north-west Jacksonville commercial district surrounded by a storage facility and a dollar store.
