Florida sniper shoots, kills bank robber holding hostages through computer monitor: Video

Video released by a Florida sheriff's office shows the moment a sniper shot through a computer monitor and killed a suspected armed bank robber who was holding hostages.

It all unfolded Feb. 6 at a Fort Myers Bank of America, said Sheriff Carmine Marceno of the Lee County Sheriff's Office (LCSO). Responding deputies discovered the suspect had a knife and claimed he had a bomb while detaining a man and a woman.

"We tried to negotiate with him continuously," Marceno said in a previous press conference, adding that at one point, the suspect held a knife to the female hostage's throat.
