(AP) — After a bank robber put a gun to the back of one hostage's head, SWAT team members resolved at the first chance they had Thursday to storm a north Florida credit union where nearly a dozen people were being held captive, authorities say. SWAT team members stormed the credit union and put themselves between the gunman and the 11 hostages, ending a two-hour standoff, said Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams. The man could face potential charges of bank robbery, armed kidnapping and armed assault, the sheriff added. Televised news coverage showed a group of freed hostages being taken out by heavily armed and helmeted SWAT team members.
