Drive to the crime scene.
When you arrive on the scene at Hollywood First National Bank 
, a gunman is holding a hostage at the main entrance. Three cops are lying on the sidewalk and street. The reporting officer tells you three guys tried to knock the place over and got jumped. Now they’ve got a half dozen patrons and staff for insurance: two inside covering the hostages, plus the charmer at the front door. He won’t negotiate and he’ll kill the hostage if you don’t put him down.
Subdue the hostage taker.
You begin the case crouched down and covered behind your patrol car. From cover, swing out and auto-aim, then fire on the hostage taker. With the suspect down, the remaining hostages flee the building, leaving the remaining gunmen inside with no insurance. Take a more powerful weapon out of the trunk of the patrol car you were covered behind.
Subdue the armed suspects.
Move up to the entrance of the bank and cover along the left side exterior column. Gun down the armed suspect behind the teller counter. After dropping that gunman, wait where you are until the last gunman creeps into view from the left interior. Then swing out from cover and shoot him to complete the case.
