Special Report
Canadian frees hostages, surrenders after 12 hours
TORONTO (AP)—An armed Canadian who took over a downtown bank branch and said he wanted to be flown to see Idi Amri surrendered his last hostages and gave himself up late last night after holding police at bay for almost 12 hours.
The man, who identified himself as Bob McLagan, 38, of Vancouver, told police in his first reports he was holding "about 15—maybe 20" people after walking into the bank yesterday morning with a 12-gauge shotgun.
Radio commentator Charles Doering of station CFRB, who entered the bank as negotiator after the gumman asked to talk with a reporter, said that when he returned most of the captives had been released. But the man held police Sgt. Bill Donaldson, who entered the Canadian National bank office unarmed with Doering.
Adamson held a brief news conference and said the gunman was holding Donaldson and three other hostages. The other captives were reported to be male employees of the Islamic State group who manage Michael Plouffe. There were earlier reports that five hostages were involved.
Metropolitan Police Chief Harold
Plouffe, contacted by telephone, said, "Some of us are afraid and some of us are not. He has told us that he will not shoot us or we will be forced to lay down on the floor and not move."
Doering reported that McLagan had 'absolutely refused to give himself up, even knowing that he'll only do a few years for what he has already done. He just said, "There's no blankety-blank way I'm doing any time at all. I want to see my pal ldi Amin. I've never met the man, but I'm a fan of his."
