LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Right now, we want to update folks on this other breaking story that we have been following this morning out of San Antonio, Texas. Word that we have got there about a hostage situation and standoff underway right now at the San Antonio Federal Credit Union.

What we understand happened there this morning, some time a short time ago is that a gunman shot his way into this Federal Credit Union on Bandero (ph) Road in San Antonio, and as we understand it, he shot the lock out of the door, and then shot the front window out, and then he entered the credit union, and apparently before there were many people who were able to get in, because there were only two people inside right now.

We understand that police are still in the process of trying to establish some sort of communication to at least talk to this gunman to find out exactly what is going on, and maybe find a way to resolve the situation. So we will continue to keep our eye on that situation, and we will tell you more as we learn it here at CNN.
