A man armed with a handgun tried to rob a bank Tuesday, then took several hostages inside and held police at bay, authorities said. Police surrounded the NBD Bank branch on the city's southeast side shortly after 9 a.m. and couldn't immediately learn how many people were being held inside, Lt. Ron Vierheilig said.

A Garden City couple chose to end their lives together while holding hands, explaining in a letter that they could not live without each other. The Garden City couple were found Sunday in their car in the Surfside Beach area. They died from carbon monoxide poisoning. They were holding hands when they died. The husband was striken with cancer and was disabled. Police believe his wife ran a hose from the tail pipe of the car through the trunk into the inside of the car. Because of this, the coroner has listed the cause of death for the husband to be homicide. His wife's cause of death will be listed as suicide. Inside the car, police found a clipboard with information about funeral arrangements the couple had made a month ago, telephone numbers of their two sons, in New York and California, and the three letters.
