(CNN) A suspect who held five people captive during an eight-hour standoff at a Wells Fargo bank in St. Cloud, Minnesota, has been arrested, authorities said.
It was a "peaceful resolution, the best possible outcome we could have had," said St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson.
Four of the hostages were released and a fifth hostage "made a run for the door" right before the tactical units from the St. Cloud Police Department and the FBI "made a simultaneous entry and took the suspect into custody without incident," Anderson said. All of the hostages were bank employees according to police.
The hostages were uninjured and are safely at home, said St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis.
