EP 63: Sacramento Good Guys Hostage Situation

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the Sacramento Good Guys Hostage situation, an incident that occurred on April 4, 1991, in Sacramento, California where 39 employees and customers of the Good Guys electronics store were held hostage for more than eight hours by four hostage takers. By the time this event ended, more than a dozen of the hostages would be injured and three of the hostages would be killed...as well as three of the four hostage-takers.
