LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Before we wrap up this hour, we want to give you one quick update on a story we've been following all morning out in Santa Monica. On the Santa Monica Pier, we have been following a hostage situation there. You are looking at a picture we are getting in courtesy of our affiliate KABC. We understand a police negotiator has been talking to a gunman who is holding some hostages and, some time ago, the Associated Press reported that three hostages have been released. There are still a number being held inside. And we'll have more on that for you in a couple minutes.</s>CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Things are developing very quickly on that story.
