DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Want to switch gears and go down to Orlando now, where there has been a hostage standoff going on there for three days. The situation is tense. Police still hoping that this will end with a peaceful surrender. Let's bring in Mark Potter for the latest from Orlando. Mark, any progress?</s>MARK POTTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: No, not really, Daryn. We're here at the police command post, and we are told that the negotiations, which had been underway for three days, are continuing, and that's basically all that we've been told. We know that 41-year- old Jamie Petron, an ex-convict, is still holding three hostages, a 40-year-old woman, a 16-year-old girl and an infant. Two others, a young boy and an infant were released by him yesterday. Police say these negotiations are particularly tense because they allege that, since Friday, Petron has already shot four people: a convenience store clerk, who was killed; a convenience store owner; a sheriff's deputy; and one of the hostage, those last three were wounded. Now, still, police say, they have hope that this matter can be resolved.</s>CAPT. STEVE JONES, ORANGE CO. SHERIFF'S OFFICE: I'm sure that he wants to be able to get out of this whole situation. We don't know what's going through his mind. We told him to release the hostages, come out and let's take care of everything. His attorneys, you know, everybody is basically -- made all the pleas on TV. So he knows that. Basically, the ball is in his court.</s>POTTER: Now, police stress that they have met all of Petron's demands of food and other items that have been taken inside the house. But even though Petron has said repeatedly that he will release the hostages, there are no signs that that is imminent. Daryn, back to you.</s>KAGAN: Mark Potter, standing by in Orlando, thank you for that update.
