The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says 11 hostages have been freed from a credit union in that north Florida city where they were held at gunpoint by a robbery suspect.
  Â
The sheriff's office said in a tweet Thursday that the hostages were freed about two hours after their ordeal began and that the suspect was in custody.
  Â
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda had said an initial 911 call reporting a bank robbery came in at 9:06 a.m.
  Â
A short time later, another call indicated that someone may have been shot, but the sheriff's office has been unable to confirm that.
  Â
She said SWAT team members and police negotiators were called in.
