Burger King Hostage Situation Ends Peacefully

A hostage situation at a Baltimore Burger King ended peacefully on Sunday as the suspect surrendered, police say. The standoff went on for several hours as police negotiated with the suspect, who had taken several hostages, including a 7-year-old girl. SWAT teams were on standby and prepared for the worst, but ultimately the hostage taker "made the decision to do the right thing and that was not harm anyone," police spokesman T.J. Smith said. The standoff began early Sunday after police tried to pull the suspect over on a warrant for rape, leading to a car chase. The suspect's identity has not yet been revealed.
