WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. Newly released footage from Florida police shows the incredible moment a sniper shot a bank robber, with the bullet traveling through a desktop computer and between two hostages before fatally striking the suspect.

The scene unfolded February 6 when a 36-year-old man attempted to rob a Fort Myers Bank of America, and took two people hostage inside an office of the bank after police closed in on him.

But the robber suddenly put one of the hostages into a headlock and held a knife to her throat, prompting officers to spring into action.
