Read Thursday’s story on the shooting at a bank in Florida that police say left five dead.

The call came in at 12:37 p.m. Wednesday. A 21-year old gunman, clad in a T-shirt that bore the image of four scythe-wielding grim reapers on horseback, wanted the police to know that he had just opened fire in a bank in the small city of Sebring, Fla., the police said.

“I have shot five people,” he told a dispatcher, according to a police statement. There were only five people in the bank at the time, the police said, and they all died.

When the Sebring Police Department and the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office responded to the SunTrust Bank branch on U.S. Route 27, they said, they found the shooter barricaded inside. What followed was a tense standoff with police negotiators that ended when an armored police vehicle rammed into the bank doors, shattering their glass, video footage shows.

The police said in a statement that negotiators and members of the SWAT team “persuaded the suspect to surrender.” Video from the scene shows officers inching toward the broken glass with their firearms drawn. They soon emerged with the suspect in handcuffs.
