ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) — Police in Anniston say they’re negotiating with an armed man they say has taken a hostage inside a Kmart store.
The Anniston Star says the store was evacuated Friday morning and a police special response team went in shortly after 9:30 a.m.
An Anniston EMS crew brought one woman out of the store on a stretcher. Anniston police Sgt. Fred Forsythe says the woman was not injured. The newspaper says a second stretcher was taken into the building just before 10 a.m.
Police say they have the situation under control.
