SWAT responded to the scene and were able to take Albistur into custody at 1:53 p.m. The situation was resolved with no injuries.
Officers received a call from a Wells Fargo manager reporting that a Hispanic adult man entered the bank with a gun. He was later identified as 57-year-old Jose Albistur.
Albistur allowed employees and customers to leave the bank. One employee hid in the breakroom, but Albistur was unaware anyone was inside. The employee later safely exited the building once Albistur was in custody.
The investigation is still ongoing.
