Suspects on the Run After Nordstrom Hostage Situation

Los Angeles cops are on the hunt for two suspects who held 14 people hostage at gunpoint at a Nordstrom's store late Thursday night, but vanished as police surrounded the store and shopping center. Police received a call shortly after 11 p.m. alerting them that there were
gunmen in the Nordstrom Rack store at the Promenade at Howard Hughes Center, in Westchester, Calif., officers said today.

By the time police arrived, one suspect could be seen outside the store but he quickly
slipped inside, according to Lt. Steve Lurie of the Los Angeles Police Department. "The first officer who arrived saw at least one suspect, but he disappeared inside the store when police got there," Lurie said.

Police surrounded the store and shopping area. After 45 minutes, the SWAT team from
the LAPD entered into the store and found 13 women and one man in the store
room and bathroom of the store, according to police.
