From: "Martyn", [EMAIL PROTECTED] News just in 7/10/2000 LONDON (Reuters) - Police said a 12-hour armed siege at a Wiltshire garden centre ended peacefully when a gunman released his two hostages and gave himself up.

Armed officers surrounded the garden centre and police negotiators spent most of the night talking with the man. Several houses in the area were evacuated. The gunman released the male hostage late on Friday night and the female hostage at 4.30 a.m. on Saturday. A police spokesman said the man gave himself up shortly before 5 a.m. and was taken into custody. "No one was injured and no shots were fired," the spokesman said.
