The 1991 Sacramento hostage crisis occurred on April 4, 1991, in Sacramento, California, when four people took hostages at a Good Guys! electronics store located near the Florin Mall, after botching a prior robbery. During the hostage crisis, three hostages, as well as three of the four hostage-takers, were killed. The fourth hostage-taker was captured by authorities, and an additional fourteen hostages were injured during the crisis. To this day, the 1991 Sacramento hostage crisis remains the largest hostage rescue operation in U.S. history, with over forty hostages having been held at gunpoint.
