Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in the United States have fatally shot a man allegedly holding hostages inside of a building in California.
The shooting ended a 12-hour standoff at an office in Bakersfield that houses a bank branch and school district office.
In a statement, the Bakersfield police said the suspect was killed in “an officer-involved shooting involving Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel”.
It added that “all hostages were located unharmed and received medical evaluation and treatment at the scene”.
Police had originally been called following a bomb threat at the location. Police said the man barricaded himself inside with several people, two of whom were released Tuesday after negotiations with authorities.
Authorities established a wide perimeter around the building, evacuating the nearby City Hall and the police headquarters.
Bakersfield police sergeant Eric Celedon told reporters on Tuesday the department had “every single resource at our disposal out here to bring this to the safest resolution possible”.
Police on Wednesday said the investigation was ongoing and that “significant” law enforcement would remain in the area.
The identity of the suspect was not immediately released and a motive was unclear.
