An hourslong hostage situation at a Wells Fargo bank in St. Cloud, Minnesota, resolved peacefully with no casualties after all five captives were released and a suspect was taken into custody late on Thursday.

“A peaceful resolution, the best outcome we could have today,” St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson said late on Thursday at a news conference after more than eight hours since police were called to the incident, the St. Cloud Times reported.
