587. BREAKDOWN: Perfect Shot Saves The Day


Listen Later

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.
