Bank robbery in progress in Miami

[tomf-1]

Just got a glimse of it on CNN. Sounds like a potentially explosive situation as Robbers threat to shoot hostages. Let's hope for a peaceful resolution. Be safe for those of you in the nearby area.

Wow, I hope for the best. You really don't hear about bank robberies too much, I wonder how often they actually occur.

dun no....but w/ all the tactical plannings involved, one would think they are better off to ultilize that energy doing something a little more productive to society....certainly not very bright endeavor

according to the news, police captured one of the robbers while the rests are stilll inside....now they demand the release of their partner in crime or they will start execute hostages one by one...

Not quite everything; those check cashing places make a killing ripping off poor people.

The bank robber was caught. It's my understanding that the "hostage taker" guy who called and said he was going to start killing people was a prankster.

That figures; they should throw that person in jail too.

I have not seen the news today. Any word on if the hostage taker guy was prankster?
