Summary
A second hostage was released after overnight negotiations, but the standoff at a Chase Bank building in Bakersfield was still unresolved Wednesday morning.
Police said the incident began around 1 p.m. Tuesday after a bomb-threat call led officers to discover an adult man barricaded inside with several community members.
The FBI's Sacramento field office is assisting Bakersfield police, and officers remained deployed around the bank as negotiations continued into a second day.
