- Story Text: One police officer was injured and various bank employees were taken hostage on Tuesday (October 3, 1995) during an attempted robbery in San Salvador.
Dozens of National Civil Police (PNC) officers surrounded a bank building and barricaded the bank's entrances in an effort to stop the armed burglars from escaping.
Police Assistant Director Rolando Garcia said several hostages had been injured by their captors.
PNC Director Rodrigo Avila maintained constant communication with the robbers via cellular phone, asking them to turn themselves in.
