DONNA KELLEY, CNN ANCHOR: Let's go out to Washington State. We're just getting some information in here from Associated Press. Let's take a look.

I believe that these are live pictures -- yes they are -- live pictures from our affiliate KIRO of -- by Seattle-Tacoma airport -- it's near Sea-Tac Airport. It's a bank robbery -- an attempted bank robbery, we think, around Sea-Tac at a Bank of America branch at 155 and Pacific Highway South. They have actually closed Pacific Highway South right now, as they go -- the King County sheriff's deputies go and respond to this attempted bank robbery at 156 and Pacific Highway South.

We hear that the King County sheriff's SWAT team has been brought in, as well as a hostage negotiator. We don't know if there are any hostages, though; we just hear that a hostage negotiator has been brought in along with the SWAT, as they have closed the Pacific Highway South and they investigate what's going on here. And they believe it is an attempted bank robbery.

So we'll keep you posted. Just as soon as we get any new information on this, we will pass it along to you.
