Lee County Sheriff's Office released footage of the rescue of hostages held by suspect on February 6 at a Bank of America in Fort Myers, Florida. Video released by a Florida sheriff's office shows the moment a sniper had to shoot through a computer monitor, killing an suspected armed bank robber who was holding hostages. It all unfolded Feb. 6 at a Fort Myers Bank of America, the Lee County Sheriff's Office (LCSO), headed by Sheriff Carmine Marceno, said. Responding deputies discovered the suspect had a knife, and he had claimed he had a bomb while detaining a man and a woman.
