olice: Bank robber takes hostages, kills self
By ARTHUR H. ROTSTEIN 45 minutes ago
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Police say a gunman took several hostages during a failed robbery at a Tucson, Ariz., bank and then killed himself after authorities surrounded the building.
Police spokesman Sgt. Mark Robinson says no hostages appear to have been injured in the Monday incident.
He says the unidentified gunman took money from a teller Monday afternoon. He was leaving the bank when he saw a county prosecutor's office investigator who was coming in to do some banking, and ran back inside.
Robinson says the man briefly took several people hostage but had released all but a few bank employees when he killed himself.

The joke that Bell used in her research was:
'What did the big chimney say to the little chimney?
'Nothing, chimneys can't talk.'
The responses to this childish riddle included insults, glares, silence or even blows.
'The predominant verbal reaction to failed humor in our study was oriented exclusively toward attacking the speaker,' Bell said.
Talk about a tough crowd.
There are several reasons for the strong responses.
First, such canned humor often disrupts the natural flow of conversation. And jokes that fail to deliver humor are a violation of a social contract, so punishing the teller can discourage similar behavior in the future.
Finally, a stupid joke insults the listener by suggesting that he or she might actually find it funny, Bell said.
'Being selected as an appropriate audience for a stupid joke suggests that there is something amiss with the hearer's sense of humor,' Bell said.
Bell wrote her doctoral dissertation at Penn on the use of humor by people for whom English is the second language (a source of much comedy in pop culture)
