A news crew was on the scene when an undercover policewoman shot and killed a hostage taker when he was distracted.
You can skip to :48 seconds that's when the whole thing start.
I think the first shot didn't found it's target and the followup shots found it.
The hostage taker died on the scene and the hostage was rescued. She suffered minor cuts and was released overnight.
