Silva said early Wednesday evening of the Stockton bank robbery, 'During my 18 years as a law enforcement officer, this is the first time that I've seen this here in the city of Stockton. So right now, we're interviewing the bank employees, and we're going to debrief the hostages once they're OK. We can talk to them to see exactly what transpired inside the bank.'
Police told KCRA 3 that the suspects from the Stockton bank robbery apparently planned to ambush officers. Police added that the robbers have also tied up a bank security guard earlier during the day. The guard was able to dial 911 before he got tied down.
Jones reportedly provided a chronology of the events from the Stockton bank robbery while addressing media from police headquarters.
He said, 'It was such a chaotic ... fluid situation, really one of the most dangerous, tense situations that a police officer could go through. There was a lot on the line and the officers responded appropriately.'
Meanwhile, Bank of the West has released a statement in lieu of the tragedies after the Stockton bank robbery saying that it would not provide information about the victims.
The statement read, 'This is a tragic incident and we are focused on supporting our customers and employees.'
Stockton bank robbery hostage's condition still isn't known as no details have been provided to media yet. However, other reports are saying that the bullet wounds of the surviving hostage at the hospital are considered minor.
