Police sharpshooter kills bank robber to free hostage

Police surround the parking area where they shot one robber and freed the last hostage.

A 10-hour standoff with two armed bank robbers near Walt Disney World, Florida, ended after a police sharpshooter fatally shot one suspect and officers arrested the other, authorities said. The robbers escaped from the bank with one hostage but were cornered in their getaway car. Three hostages were released during the standoff; the last captive was rescued after the shooting. Osceola County Sheriff Bob Hansell said the suspect was shot when he "used the hostage again as a shield to get into another vehicle."
