\n

The suspect was killed in \u201can officer-involved shooting involving Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel,\u201d the Bakersfield Police Department said in a statement. The standoff ended about 12 hours after police were called to the building, police said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

All the hostages are free and none was harmed, police said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The standoff in downtown Bakersfield began Tuesday afternoon when officers responded to a call of a bomb threat at the Chase Bank building.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Bakersfield Police said the man barricaded himself inside with several people. Two were released Tuesday after negotiations with authorities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Nearby buildings, including City Hall and the police headquarters, were evacuated and some roads were temporarily closed during the hostage situation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Officers established a perimeter around the area and warned the public to stay away. The police department\u2019s crisis negotiation team had been in contact with the suspect by telephone.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe have every single resource at our disposal out here to bring this to the safest resolution possible,\u201d Bakersfield police Sgt. Eric Celedon said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n

A spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase said the bank branch is on the ground floor of the building and is currently empty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Jacob Davidson, a livestreamer known as Dad\u2019s Gone Live, was a block from the bank at his family\u2019s tattoo shop when he started getting calls about the bomb threat.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI went into the bank\u2019s parking garage and watched the cops enter the back of the bank. This is the biggest police presence I\u2019ve ever seen in this town,\u201d Davidson said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

His livestream captured through a window in the building a woman rocking back and forth Tuesday night before crouching below the window. Later, two hands could be seen waving.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
