Chicago Manhunt On, After Robbery Suspect Escapes

CHICAGO (AP) ― Authorities were searching a bank for an armed robber suspected of taking at least six people hostages and holding
them for about two hours before releasing them.

All the known hostages were free, but police had yet to make an arrest, FBI spokeswoman Cynthia Yates said.

The rank robbery was reported at 9:42 a.m. at the First Commercial Bank branch in the city's north-side Rogers Park
neighborhood. Police blocked off the streets around the building and asked area businesses to lock their doors as a precaution.

Around 11:30 a.m., police could be seen escorting several people away from the bank. The people had their hands on their heads and were frisked by officers, presumably to ensure the robber wasn't among them.
