WOMAN (ON PHONE): Police!
[dial tone]
[crying]
[gunshot]
MAN (ON PHONE): Ah!
[gunfire]
I'm going to need to find out the status of the hostage.
We have to find out if she's OK or not.
We have to find out how the officer was shot.
All we know is that he was responding to a 911 call.
And when he went to the door, he was trying
to make entry with the master key
and was shot through the doorway.
How many shots did you hear just then?
One.
And then after they pulled the officer out of there,
they said several more shots were fired after that.
Right now, we're going to try and call
up to the suspect's room.
Hopefully, we'll be able to get a dialogue
going with the suspect.
[phone ringing]
Bryan, tell me what's going on, guy.
You just want to come down?
Will both of you be coming out?
All right, is she there that I can talk to her for a second?
May I talk to her?
MAN (ON PHONE): Hang on a second.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): Hello.
Are you there, dear?
OK.
Are you all right?
OK.
I understand that you and Ron are going
to come out in just a second?
[dial tone]
OFFICER: Let's see if he holds-- if he's the one that comes out.
I wonder if I'm going to play this game for a little while.
[phone rings]
Ron?
You coming out?
I'm going to ensure your safety.
But you've got to work with me, OK?
All right.
First of all, what I need for you to do
is if you have any weapons, I need for you
to leave them inside the room.
Don't come out with any weapons, Ron, OK?
OK.
I'm just worried that this is going to end up murder-suicide.
He had already talked to his pastor.
We found that out.
He talked to his friend.
These are signs they're starting to send up red flags.
[phone rings]
MAN (ON PHONE): OK, this is what I'm about to do.
OFFICER: Tell you what.
I'll stay on the phone with you, and I'll be more
than happy to listen to it.
Well, here-- here's-- here's a problem with that, OK?
It's not a bad plan.
But the problem is if you just walk out
and I don't know that you're coming--
OFFICER: Yes, sir.
OFFICER: Have the paramedic ready?
OK, how much time do you want?
Ron?
[dial tone]
[phone rings]
OFFICER: Hello?
Hey, are you OK?
And where's Ron at?
Is he there next to you?
OK.
Is he telling you what to be saying here?
Shh!
As much as we'd like to rush in and help her,
if he's got a gun to her head and making her say things,
us barging in there right now could get her killed.
OFFICER: Just make it towards the rest of the door
and open it up just a little bit.
[dial tone]
WOMAN: Ah!
[explosion]
I think possibly we've got a gunshot wound in the leg.
It looks like the suspect shot himself in the head.
It's a shame that we couldn't save everybody.
But two people did survive.
And that's a good thing.
