The Eufaula Police Department released a timeline and dispatch log from last week's deadly bank robbery and police chase. 

The information may help answer questions about whether and how quickly information about a hostage being taken was relayed. It shows the robber was in the bank for only 63 seconds.

Julie Huff, a bank customer, was shot multiple times after the FBI says robber Cedric Norris forced her to drive his stolen getaway car - right after he'd killed the bank president and wounded an employee.

Moments after Norris took Huff and left the bank, police spotted the stolen SUV and gave chase. They got the vehicle stopped. Norris was killed and Huff was injured after authorities say he used her as a human shield.

In all, between the suspect and officers, around 50 rounds were fired.
