An amazing shot that saved two lives…

According to The New York Post, a sniper on a Florida police force neutralized a bank robber holding two hostages by taking a shot through a computer monitor, hitting the criminal in the head.

The footage went viral after it was released this week; the incident happened earlier this year.

From The New York Post:

The scene unfolded February 6 when a 36-year-old man attempted to rob a Fort Myers Bank of America, and took two people hostage inside an office of the bank after police closed in on him.

The suspect had told cops he had a bomb on him and crouched behind the hostages — using them as human shields — as a negotiator tried to get him to surrender.

But the robber suddenly put one of the hostages into a headlock and held a knife to her throat, prompting officers to spring into action.

Footage from the scene released by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office showed SWAT officers in position outside the bank’s doors while a sniper steadied his rifle on the shoulder of another officer.

The sniper aimed at the suspect, whose head could barely be seen over the top of a computer monitor across the room.

“Keep talking to me, keep talking to me, I want to know what’s going through your head right now,” the negotiator said.

Moments later, the sniper pulled the trigger and a shot rang out.
