- A robber at a Florida bank took hostages after law enforcement arrived and was killed by a sheriff's sniper as he held a woman in a headlock with a knife to her throat, authorities said.
Negotiators tried to defuse the situation Tuesday at a Bank of America branch in Fort Myers, but the suspect instead took two hostages in the building, Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said.
“We were in fear for her safety,” Marceno told reporters. “This is exactly what we train for. We train for worst-case scenarios.”
The suspect was identified as Sterling Ramon Alavache, 36. None of the hostages was injured, and there were initially more people in the bank, but they escaped once deputies arrived. Alavache had a knife and claimed to have a bomb, but authorities did not immediately confirm that.
The sheriff's office response included a robotic dog, drones, a battering ram and a SWAT team.

why is the news trying to humanize someone who threatened the lives of others for money? sick of criminals being treated like heroes and heroes being treated like villains
Skin color.
Cuz he is not white.. Only WHITES get villified. EVeryone else.. gets a pass
Because the world is only black and white to simple people. The news isn't catering to the simple.
Welcome to the new u.s.a
He wasn't even black I know sterling very well so think before you reply to something you know nothing about. He was mentally ill and would give you the shirt off his back. He was a great guy off his medication@@ryanbesco8067

Since when did police use snipers, military uses snipers police have sharp shooters, there is a difference!
It's the same thing, a marksman with a rifle.
Pedantic much?
Since the 70's. Dust off those history books.
For the purposes of regional police, they are the same exact thing - they provide the same function. Who told you they were different, lol?
