DEVELOPING – SWAT team officers rushed to a bank in Jacksonville, Fla., where investigators said a robbery suspect took several hostages Thursday morning.

Sheriff's investigators said they heard in one of two calls that somebody fired at least one shot at the Community First Credit Union, Fox 30 reported.

The suspect took as many as 11 hostages, local media added. It's unclear whether anybody was hurt.

Latasha Sherman told Fox 30 her 18-year-old son was working inside the bank -- and that she's tried calling him all morning, but he wouldn't answer. She said he'd been working at the bank for just a few months.

Police ordered people to evacuate the area while the hostage situation was under way.

Two 911 calls came in -- one reporting a robbery, and one reporting the gunshot, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda told reporters.

A bank robbery suspect surrendered and released 11 hostages after an armed standoff lasting for hours Thursday morning in Jacksonville, Fla., investigators confirmed.

Sheriff's investigators said they heard in one of two calls that somebody had fired at least two shots during the standoff at the Community First Credit Union, Fox 30 reported.

Aerial video showed several hostages slowly walking out of the bank. It was unclear whether anybody was hurt. Officers used a battering ram to break down the door.

Investigators did not immediately name the suspect.

Latasha Sherman told Fox 30 her 18-year-old son was working inside the bank -- and that hours after she started trying to call him, he texted her back saying he was safe. She said he'd been working at the bank for just a few months.

Police ordered people to evacuate the area while the hostage situation was under way.

Two 911 calls came in -- one reporting a robbery, and one reporting the gunshot, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda told reporters.
