Episode description

Florida police made an incredible sniper shot at a bank robber-- the round traveled through a desktop computer and between two hostages before fatally striking the bad guy. The suspect, a 36-year-old man attempting to rob a Fort Myers bank, took two people hostage inside an office of the bank. He picked the wrong day to wrong a bank. The suspect had told cops he had a bomb on him and crouched behind the hostages — using them as human shields — as a negotiator tried to get him to surrender. But the robber suddenly put one of the hostages into a headlock and held a knife to her throat, which meant the time for talk was over. Guess he got his rules of engagement from the movies. One down the range, one saved day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
