Florida Bank Hostage taker's head no match for SWAT Sniper's .308 (video)
|
[Gateway] A heart-stopping moment captured on newly released surveillance video shows a Lee County Sheriff’s Office sniper executing a precision shot that neutralized an armed bank robber holding two hostages.
In February, 36-year-old Sterling Alavache, who was armed with a knife and claimed to have a bomb, was shot dead by a SWAT sniper during a robbery in southwest Florida.
According to the sheriff, the suspect was placing the hostages in "imminent danger" by putting one of them in a headlock and holding a knife to her throat during the hostage.
The footage, which has been circulating on social media, highlights the sniper’s skill as his bullet pierces a computer monitor to fatally strike the suspect at a Bank of America in Fort Myers.
The video, edited for clarity and context, was released by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook this past Saturday.
