Hostage situation in California: the suspect was shot by the FBI after 12 hours of negotiations

A man who took hostages in a building in Bakersfield, California, was shot dead by FBI agents after a standoff that lasted approximately 12 hours, authorities announced. The incident began following an alert about a possible bomb threat, and the suspect barricaded himself in the building along with several people, two of whom were released during the negotiations. During the intervention, law enforcement evacuated the area and maintained a security perimeter, while the negotiation team attempted to reach a peaceful resolution before the situation ended with a forceful intervention by federal agents.
