How could such a dramatic show of paramilitary force by at least three different police agencies and SWAT units, replete with helicopters, floodlights and canine units and a small army of officers in full military gear and semiautomatic weaponry, result in such a Keystone Cops failure to simply apprehend the gunmen?

MSNBC is calling it a "false hostage situation", and a team of paramilitary SWAT members are seen charging the front door in group stance on the video linked here at MSNBC. Later, a sole victim is seen being pulled from the store. Several witnesses also reporting a single gunshot being heard at this time.

Police are refusing to release any videotape of the alleged gunmen taken by the store cameras. Police are refusing to release any information to help indentify the suspects (who are armed and at large) at all.
