One of hostages, mother of four Roxana Boyden, recalled what the gunman said.
"He adamantly talked about how we're important," Boyden said."We are moms, we have kids. He stated he had no one.""'I'm not here to hurt you. I'm not here to hurt no one, I'm not here for the money,'" Mendoza said."'I'm here because I'm tired of life. I am tired of life, I'm tired the bank screwed me over.' That's what he kept on saying.
The gunman's motive remains unclear. The hostages estimate they were held captive for 30 minutes. During that time, the gunman talked about his own family. "He said his mom had passed, and no one told him anything about it," Mendoza said."In the obituary they didn't even include him as a son.""He literally told us, 'I'm here to die tonight, either I'm going to take my life, or they're going to take it. But I'm not leaving here today,'" Mendoza said.
Ultimately, the gunman set the hostages free. Once law enforcement arrived, he was shot, transported to the hospital, and pronounced dead."After all this, I'm a strong believer we should live life to the fullest and love one another no matter what," Mendoza said.The Will County Sheriff's Office said a member of its SWAT team fired one shot that hit the suspect.
