Police negotiate in hostage situation at Chase Bank amid bomb threat in Bakersfield<\/a><\/p>\nIn a statement, Bains said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI am in active communication with local law enforcement. Members of the public should continue to avoid downtown Bakersfield at this time. My thoughts are with all of the families impacted by this concerning situation.I remain thankful to the emergency personnel who risk their own wellbeing for the safety of our community. First responders run toward danger to keep our community safe. Thank you to these brave men and women. Out of an abundance of caution, and to avoid creating a large gathering of people in close proximity to this incident, we will no longer hold an in-person event in downtown.\u201d<\/p>\n
