Investigators said Donna Sue Bynum, 40, burst into a Bank of America located on Central Florida Parkway Friday night and threatened to kill everyone.

"She said George W. Bush was trying to kill her," said hostage Terry Homer, one of the 15 held hostage. "I honestly don't think she was in the right state of mind."

"She said she wanted to talk to George W. Bush and things like that and if everybody doesn't shut up, I'm going to kill everyone," Hostage John Del Vecchio said. "I was scared but I didn't want her to know I was scared."

Witnesses said Bynum walked around the bank, made a few phone calls before forcing about 15 people into a bank vault during the incident.

People inside the vault used cell phones to call 911 for help, Local 6 reported.

When deputies arrived, Bynum surrendered to police after a brief struggle.

Sky 6 showed SWAT team members with rifles rushing the bank and then taking Bynum into custody.

Three of the hostages were treated by Orange County emergency workers for respiratory problems.

Bynum was transported to the Orange County Jail late Friday and was expected to undergo a psychological exam.
