The Bakersfield Police Department confirmed Tuesday night that a man barricaded himself inside a Chase bank, along with multiple hostages.

Bakersfield Police spokesperson Sally Selby told reporters that several "community members" were in the bank and that crisis negotiators were working to bring the situation to a peaceful resolution. At least one person has been released.

“With the cooperation of our Crisis Negotiation Team and the assistance of the FBI negotiations team, we were able to negotiate the safe surrender of one of the hostages,” Bakersfield Police Sgt. Eric Celedon told reporters on the scene. 

The other hostages are in "good health," Celedon also confirmed, according to NBC News. 

The police department urged the public to stay away from downtown Bakersfield and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ San Francisco field office said resources were being sent to Bakersfield, which is located about 110 miles north of Los Angeles.

No injuries have been reported.
