Summary
Negotiators communicated with the suspect, who initially took four hostages, though one man was later released uninjured, according to the Colleyville Police Department.The hostage-taker called for the release of Aafia Siddiqui, who was sentenced in 2010 to 86 years in prison for the attempted murder and assault of U.S. nationals and U.S. officers and employees in Afghanistan, a law enforcement official said. Siddiqui is in federal prison in Forth Worth, Texas.The relationship between the hostage-taker and the prisoner is unclear, said the official who is not authorized to comment publicly.A rabbi and three others were among the hostages.Shortly after 5 p.m. Eastern, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted President Joe Biden was briefed about the "developing hostage situation in the Dallas area." Biden thanked law enforcement in a statement released after the situation was resolved late Saturday.
