Bank of America hostage situation

[George P Burdell]

Couldn't find much online, just heard abotu it on CNN International. I'm not in the States right now so I have no access to local TV. Five hostages.

edit: Resolved

It is terrible and unbelievable.....they are being held hostage by all those FEES.

It's 20 minutes from me...watching what they are showing on TV but it isn't much now.

The FBI and SWAT are on-site.

Apparently the 5 hostages are bank employees - the guy let customers go.

That may not be 100% accurate though.

EDIT: 1/26 Story in local paper:

Apparently they released one more hostage...not confirmed.

Exeter PD just confirmed.

[Saint Nick]

yeah i can't find this on cnn.com or msnbc.com

 

[OdiN]

I've been switching back and forth between 24, 26, 30 and 47...just checking for any station doing special reports. 24 and 30 seem to be doing the most coverage.

Wow... that's just bad.

There are no news teams/camera's in Exeter, ca... you can bet your hat that if this was LA, SD, or SF it'd be on all of the major news channels.

There are a couple camera crews there. Several Fresno stations have camera crews here in Visalia.

Special Report just coming on.

 

[OdiN]

Still 4 hostages. From what I read at the VTD it's the manager, teller and two customers.

I hope and pray the 4 hostages walk out of that Bank of America alive.

I don't remember this kind of thing happening in Exeter, Visalia, Tulare (well, maybe Tulare ), Hanford, Lemoore, Laton, Selma, Kingsburg, Fowler, or any other small town in the South Valley.

We've had some car chases the ended up in shootouts here in Visalia, but I don't know of any hostage situations ever.

Fresno they have I'm sure but yeah not around here.
