Police! [phone rings] <i>[woman sobbing over phone]</i> <i>[touch tones beep]</i> <i>[woman screaming]</i> [dial to] <i>(man)
Hello?</i> <i>[woman sobbing]</i> [gunshot] [gunshots] It's about 4:00 in the morning
right now. We've had a--
we have a barricaded person inside a local motel. This guy actually
called 911 himself and ended up shooting
the officer that was responding. [engine turns] He's got a hostage,
so we got to go. [tires squeal] [siren wailing] Right now, we've got
to get more information. I need to find out
the status of the hostage. We have to find out
if she's okay 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 a master key and was shot
through the doorway. How many shots
did you hear, just... One, and then after they pulled
the officer out of there, they said several more shots
were fired after that. So you hear a pop.
Your officer goes down. And then you hear
roughly seven more? <i>Okay.</i> <i>They'll show you--
as soon as you get off</i> the service elevator,
make a right, <i>and you're
right there, okay?</i> <i>That's where the team
is gonna be.</i> Okay. We've just learned
that the suspect fired several shots after he initially
shot the officer. We don't know
if he shot the hostage. My teams are gathering
inside the hallway, so we're gonna just prepare
to launch on this guy. That blood is from the officer. This room goes that way
and then makes an L. He's inside that L
in the shadow, looking down. <i>(Lee)
He's got all kind
of hidey-holes.</i> There's a lot
of cord on this, so if they can get him
on the phone, he can ma-- See all the cord
right there? I don't know if our phone
in that room can-- Yeah, he can move
around the whole room. He could be
deep in there, so... (Byas)
Right now, we're gonna try and call up
to the suspect's room. Hopefully, we'll be able to get a dialogue going
with the suspect, and ideally, we should
be able to end this without any more bloodshed. <i>[phone ringing over speakers]</i> Ron. <i>Hey, this is Jake,</i> <i>and I'm with
the Dallas Police Department.</i> Tell me what's going on, guy. (Byas)
You just want to come down? Yeah, will both of you
be coming out? <i>All right.</i> <i>Is she there
that I can</i> talk to her for a second? May I talk to her? <i>[woman sighs]</i> Are you there, dear? Okay. Are you all right? Okay. I understand that you and Ron are going to come out
in just a second? <i>I tell you what.</i> <i>Have her--have her
just go ahead</i> <i>and come on out.</i> But you're not
going to let her come out? [dial tone] <i>(man)
She's okay?</i> <i>She's scared to death.
You can hear.</i> <i>He won't let her</i> come out, and so that's the problem
I'm worried about. I'm wondering if,
in five minutes, he's gonna, you know,
end up shooting both. We're not sure why
he's holding her hostage yet. We don't know if they're
boyfriend-girlfriend. We don't have
that information yet. We'll see if he holds
to his word and comes out or if we're going
to play this game for a little while. <i>[phone ringing]</i> Ron? You coming out?
Little worried about you there. <i>Okay, here's what you
can do for me, all right?</i> I'm going to ensure your safety, but you got
to work with me, okay? <i>All right,
first of all,</i> <i>what I need
for you to do is,</i> if you have any weapons, I need for you to leave them
inside the room. <i>Don't come out
with any weapons, Ron, okay?</i> Okay. He is saying
that he wants to give up, but we've heard that before. 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 all--these are signs that are starting
to send up red flags. <i>[phone ringing]</i> Ron. You holding up okay? He wants to say his prayers,
and then he's going to come out. See, that means he wants
to say his final good-byes or he's actually gonna give up. <i>(Byas)
Tell you what.</i> <i>I'll stay on the phone
with you,</i> <i>and I'll be more than happy
to listen to it.</i> Well, here's a problem
with that, okay? It's not a bad plan. But the problem is,
if you just walk out and I don't know
that you're coming-- Yes, sir. Have a paramedic ready? Okay, how much time do you want? <i>Ron?</i> [dial tone] <i>Okay,</i> I lost connection with him. [gunshot] There was a disturbance. Officers went up
to this hotel room, and a girl
was screaming for help, and then shots came flying out
and hit one of our officers. (Lee)
The suspect fired several shots. We don't know
if he shot the hostage. (Byas)
I'm just worried that this is going to end up
murder-suicide. That means he wants
to say his final good-byes. [gunshot] They think they heard a gunshot. [cell phone rings] (man)
Yes, sir? Okay, tell her--tell her
to come out the door if-- <i>Why can't she
come out the door?</i> <i>[woman over phone]
I got her on the line.</i> The female
is on the line with 911, and she said
he shot himself. Now that we know
that she's alive, everything from this point on is aiming
at keeping her that way. <i>[phone ringing]</i> <i>Hello?</i> Hey,
are you okay? No?
Okay. Can you just
step outside? <i>You can't move?</i> <i>Okay.</i> And where's Ron at? <i>Is he there
next to you?</i> Okay. Is he telling you
what to be saying here? <i>(man)
Listen. Listen.</i> <i>Shh.</i> (Lee)
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. <i>Help.</i> Shh. We've got
the whole floor locked down, sniper teams outside,
entrteams inside. <i>(Byas)
I don't think we're gonna
be able to come inside.</i> How close are you to the door? <i>Seven more feet?</i> Okay, just make it
towards the rest of the door and open it up <i>just a little bit.</i> <i>Take a breath.</i> We're gonna get
through this together, okay? From this point on, be tough. Push her.
Push her, J.D. You're too soft right now. Push her and make her
come to the door. All right, open the door. <i>[woman grunts]</i> [dial tone] [woman moaning] [door creaks] [woman shrieks] bang! (man)
Coming through.
Coming through. Stop!
Stop! (Reig)
Female hostage
got a gunshot wound to the leg, and apparently, he was
beating her up pretty good. (man)
He's dead. (Lee)
It looks like the suspect shot himself in the head. (Byas)
Breaks my heart, the fact
that we have to have a hostage crawl across the floor
just to get through the door. I mean,
she shows amazing strength, being able
to pull herself together. I wish that the guy would have given himself
more time. And in the end, he has to want
the help I'm offering, or there's not much I can do. (Reig)
It's a shame
that we couldn't save everybody, but two people did survive,
and that's a good thing. I'm going to meet the guys
to do a drive-by on a house we're going to hit
later on today that's allegedly
dealing crack cocaine. We're gonna gather
some video surveillance on this place
and formulate a plan. <i>Actually,
I feel pretty lucky</i> <i>that I get to even
do this warrant.</i> <i>I was supposed
to have back surgery,</i> but I had a sinus infection
when I went in for surgery, so that postponed it, lowing me to sneak in
one more warrant. I've had back pain
for years now, and I thought it was just
the normal, you know, aches and pains
of SWAT work, but it turns out it's a little bit more serious
than I thought. Let's pick
a rally point where we're gonna get everybody
consolidated against it. We're getting ready
to go do a drive-by real quick on a warrant
that we have for today. It's gonna be
a quick turnaround. Just here's your... (man #1)
Okay, is the house
gonna be on our left there? <i>(man #2)
It'll be on our
left-hand side.</i> (Claggett)
Video surveillance
is extremely critical to us. We gain a huge amount of intel and what kind of tactics
we're gonna need, where we're gonna deploy people. Start filming
as soon as you turn. As soon as we turn. <i>What color
is the house?</i> <i>(man)
Gray.</i> Right there. The way we execute our warrants,
it's very intel-driven. There are so many working parts. We run in
with our port cover teams, our pull teams,
our breach teams. Having that good intel
ahead of time is a great thing to have. It's the sixth house
on the left. Blue, green,
and then target. <i>(man)
That's the target house
right here.</i> <i>(man)
I'm gonna go ahead
and get narcotics up here.</i> <i>Gonna give us intel
of what you all have.</i> <i>(man #1)
What we have here</i> is a search warrant
based off a drug complaint, <i>and there was a complaint
about a lot of drug activity.</i> <i>People there
are selling drugs.</i> <i>Customers there complain</i> <i>they're afraid
something might happen</i> <i>and go wrong
with all the drug activity.</i> <i>(man #2)
They ran a warrant
last year,</i> <i>and they got
three pounds of marijuana,</i> <i>two weapons, an assault rifle,
and a shotgun.</i> <i>(man #1)
Suspect is a black male,
about 5'4", 130 pounds,</i> <i>tats on both forearms.</i> <i>(man)
The APC-1 will drive
onto the front yard.</i> They'll do a front hookup
on the A1 and A2. They'll pull straight back. <i>Anybody have
any questions?</i> Let's go do it, guys. We're just gonna need that--
we're gonna need that-- the APC split
between the two doors then. <i>Off of the AB corner.</i> This is the window.
This is the door. Doing two pulls today. We're gonna bring
our most reliable tool with us, the WIFE, the window-inserted
frame extractor. This is the WIFE. It's used to create
breech points on homes. The operator will come up
to a window. (man)
Let's go, guys.
We're going. He'll break out the window. [glass shatters] (man)
Go. It's attached to the APC. The APC pulls away. (man)
Go, go, go. Everything comes out. (Claggett)
All's it takes
in a warrant like this is somebody be out of position when the pulls are made,
catching a piece of steel alongside the head
and killing them; the suspect
turning aggressive and being in a crossfire situation
with other officers. It's a dangerous job. There's no doubt about it. (Emberlin)
I've got surgery scheduled on my back,
so this will be the last warrant I'll be participating in
for a while, I imagine, hopefully not the last one ever. Ready? Go.
We're up. (Claggett)
Every warrant initially
has the same amount of risk. I've seen guys
that vow never to be taken alive be the biggest crybabies
in the world, and I've seen mom-and-pop drug warrants
turn into shootouts. We never assume anything
on any of these. (man)
Guys, we're gonna go up here
and make a quick left. Six houses down on the left
is our target. <i>(man #1)
What we have here
is a search warrant</i> <i>based off a drug
complaint.</i> <i>(man #2)
They ran a warrant,</i> <i>and they g marijuana,</i> <i>some type
of an assault rifle...</i> (Claggett)
All's it takes
in a warrant like this is the suspect turning
aggressive and being in a crossfire situation
with other officers. [action clicks] I've got surgery
scheduled this Thursday. This will be
the last warrant I'll be participating in
for a while, hopefully not the last one ever. (man)
It goes blue house,
green house, and then target. (man #1)
Here we go, guys. It's pulling out. (man #2)
Well, are they leaving? (man #1)
They're leaving. (man #2)
I'm going around the car. Somebody take the car down. Take the car;
take the car. (Claggett)
Thomas, you got the car. (man #1)
Don't move. Do not move. [men yelling] (man #2)
Let it go.
Let it go. [men yelling] [glass shattering] (man #3)
Let it go.
Let it go. (man #2)
Let it go.
Let it go. Come on. <i>Go.</i> Police! [many yelling]
Police! <i>Show him
your hand.</i> [muffled yelling] Clear. All right, we're good. (man)
Got one walking. Remember
who's who. This one's got tattoos
that we're looking at. You walk him,
Frank. How you doing? I'm all right. (Glaggett)
Best pull I've ever seen. They set that tool
right in the right spot. Two suspects in there. And as we were pulling up,
a third suspect was pulling out
of the driveway. <i>Hey, L.T.,
what's up?</i> What's up, man? <i>Oh, man.</i> Whoo. [giggles] This is probably my last warrant
before my operation, and it was a good one. It was a good warrant
to end on. Everything went well. The pulls went well. Everybody did
what they were supposed to do, and the suspects
were pretty funny too. While I'm fired up
about getting the surgery done, I'm also worried about the rehab and whether I'll be able
to come back, because this
is what I enjoy doing. This type of surgery's
really tricky, and if it doesn't
get done right, you don't get to come back. I mean, the guy
does thousands of these, so I shouldn't be worried, but it's my first. It's the only one
that's important for you. Yeah. Take a real deep breath. [breathes audibly] Ooh. <i>(Emberlin)
Al.</i> You guys all right? <i>Getting there.</i> How you doing, man? Pretty good. Ready? <i>Yeah.</i> Okay. (Emberlin)
I wish I was
somewhere else right now, anywhere else. But there's no way
around this. (Gill)
It shows how tough,
I think, Rich is. If you take an ordinary person,
they'll have the surgery many years
before Rich's condition. Take some nice big
deep breaths for me. (Eastman)
The SWAT job's pretty hard on these guys' bodies,
and I've seen a couple of them go through pretty significant
back difficulties and injuries. Some of them make it back,
and some of them don't. <i>(Eastman)
Ready to go.</i> [tool whirring] (Claggett)
We're running a warrant today on a location that supposedly
has a lot of weapons inside and is positioned
directly across the street from an elementary school, so that should be
an interesting twist to our planning process. [all speaking simultaneously] <i>(Lee)
All right, detail.</i> <i>We got a narcotics
warrant today.</i> This warrant
is a little bit different. It's a little more complicated
due to the fact of the elementary school
being in this area. <i>Detective.</i> <i>(man)
These warrants
are manufacture</i> and delivery
for crystal methamphetamine in a drug-free zone. <i>This guy, he's straight
out of prison.</i> <i>He don't want
to go back.</i> <i>He's about
5'10," 250.</i> <i>And also,
I got a Jane Doe.</i> <i>She's always
in there with him.</i> <i>She weighed it out,
packaged it for me.</i> <i>Again, now, with the school
being in such close proximity,</i> <i>if he runs,
by all means,</i> do not let him
get inside that school. (man)
Straight stairs where he
can look over and see us. (Claggett)
The suspects are supposed
to have a lot of guns, so in weighing out
our planning process, we have to determine
what our biggest risk is: if we want to hit this house when two school-aged children
are at home and possibly putting them
at risk or if we want to wait until they're at school
and then run it. The problem there
is that the school is directly across the street
from this house. We've taken some countermeasures to secure the kids
inside the school during the time
that we're running this warrant, keep them in a safe area
so that if shots do erupt from the inside of the house
towards us, the kids at the school
are not put at risk. In this bouncing process, we feel like this
is minimizing our risk and maximizing our benefit. All right,
let's go do it. (Claggett)
In order to hit this house
effectively, we have to hit it
simultaneously. There's three distinct sections
of this house. My team is gonna go
through the front door and take the downstairs section. Another team is gonna hit
the back side of the house. A third team
is gonna go upstairs through an interior stairwell. And then we also are gonna use
a fourth team off ladders. My team's gonna be staged
in an APC with ladders attached
to the side of it. And we'll deploy the ladders
off the roof, and that'll get us
up to the dormer window. We'll dump a bang in the window
and then cover the entry team coming up the stairs
on the other side of the room. All these four fingers
of this assault have to work together in unison. If one finger fails, you know, that jeopardizes and compromises
one of the other teams. We're ready. You guys in? (man)
We all up? (Claggett)
We're gonna have to hit this
with a lot of precision so that we can get everything
locked down at one time and don't have that potential for the suspect
being able to arm himself and start shooting at us and putting these kids
in danger. (Claggett)
We're running a warrant today on a location that supposedly

About a minute
and a half, guys.</i> <i>(man #2)
Right turn, guys;
right turn.</i> <i>(man #1)
Minute and a half.</i> <i>(man)
Hold on to me, Steve.</i> <i>Don't let me fly.</i> <i>(man)
Hang on tight.</i> <i>(man)
820 to 880,
we're heading down...</i> We're ten sec--five seconds out. <i>(man)
Three...</i> Two, one. We're good. <i>We're moving;
moving.</i> I got it. Top's clear. <i>We got to go left.</i> <i>Get down!</i> Get down now! (woman)
What's the matter
with the driver? He's ready.
Get out. Get out. (man #1)
Come on, keep going; keep going. Come on, keep going; keep going. (man #2)
Get your hands on your head. <i>Bang in the front yard!</i> bang! (man)
Police! thud! [glass shattering] Police.
Take the other ones. Police! Okay, we got eyes. [glass shatters] Police! [metal clanks] Hey, hey! Police! bang! Give eyes.
Give eyes. [loud bang] [all yelling]
Police! (man #1)
He might get behind that bench. Check the cubbyhole,
artificial wall. (man #2)
Hands on your head. (man #3)
Man, I don't think-- (man #4)
You walk him, Frank. We found meth
and two females upstairs, so it was a good hit. I think we caught them
off guard. That's what we try to do. The team downstairs to the left, they found a guy
in a darkened area just watching the monitor. That was his sole duty. He had a monitor here, but he had his computer here,
and he's playing cards. Nice. And then we banged it,
and he was-- he had a double-barrel shotgun sitting here
next to the deal with him. (man #2)
He had three guns in here
and ammo. Did you see
upstairs yet? It's busy. I bet. Is that the number one? <i>Okay.</i> We drove up. Alleged suspect was outside. Another alleged suspect
was sitting in this passenger seat
right here. He looked like he might
get ready to run. I gave him verbal commands and got him down
on the ground right here. And they found a pistol over there on the other side
that he was messing with. I was at the wrong place
at the wrong time. That's all I can say. (Claggett)
The circus came to town
on this one. Anytime you have
multiple hits like this or multiple arms
on a hit like this and can get it
coordinated and choreographed the way you want to,
that's achievement. Inside this residence,
we found crystal methamphetamine in several different locations
through the house as well as hidden
inside one wall. (Reig)
With the little classrooms here, this is for the first,
second, third graders, you know, no more than,
you know, 75 yards away. When the parents
pick the kids up, on our surveillance, they line up
right next to this house. This is a bad situation,
to be selling one of the most dangerous drugs
on the street, methamphetamine. (Vancuren)
Texas state law states that
if you're in a drug-free zone-- that's 1,000 feet
of a public school, any level public school,
including a college-- it adds an additional five years
onto the penalty phase, and if they have
any other cases pending, the cases cannot run concurrent; they have to stack those
on there. So if he gets
two 15-year penalties, they stack them,
so that can be a 30-year sentence
for two cases. <i>[woman sobbing]</i> <i>(man #1)
Why is she crying now?</i> (Eastman)
Rich's case just ended,
and everything went perfectly. Now we'll just wait and see
what the rehab process brings. [phone rings] You sent me flowers. <i>[chuckles]</i> He goes, "No." You're a punk. The nerve going down my leg
already feels better. You'll feel it, so... <i>(man)
Instant, huh?</i> Yeah, yeah, it's really weird. Well, I see your hair
didn't get messed up during surgery,
though. Shut up. It's incredible. What's up, brother? <i>You look good,
but did they</i> shave your chest too,
or was it like that? Shut up.
I don't shave my chest. <i>Oh, I was just
checking.</i> Look at this guy. Oh, my God.
[laughing] <i>(man)
Got a fur coat
on this guy.</i> What's this guy got? Thanks for coming by.
You didn't have to do that. It's a relief
the surgery went off without a hitch,
but the real test will be how I rehab and whether I get to come back
to SWAT or not. [sirens wailing] (Lee)
Right now, we have a barricaded person
with a suicidal subject. This is our second call out
this week, and I'm hoping
it goes a little bit differently than the hotel incident. Oh, man. (Lee)
With a barricaded suspect, there's often
little information, and you have
to just gather as much as you can
once you get to the scene. (man)
Let me go from this side. Tell me what you got across the front of the house. Okay, and this door
has a screen door on it. Now, when you open
this door, it immediately opens up
to the bedroom. <i>This is the bedroom
that he is in.</i> <i>(man)
It's just...</i> No, probably,
when he gets upset, he don't think
kind of straight. I was thinking
the last time they took him
to the hospital, they took the gun
away from him, <i>but, you know,
I don't really know.</i> (Eastman)
We've gotten some information
from the neighbors in this case that this suspect
may have been admitted to a psychiatric hospital
here in the area, so I'm trying to call now to confirm that
and to get any information. Could you page psychiatry
for me? And I'll hold for them,
actually. This suspect actually
has been handled for violent behavior before. Unfortunately,
it looks today like that might be
a problem again. (woman)
When I came in this morning, I heard the gun go off. So they said he's got
bipolar disorder. He was recently
arrested for meth. The meth and the absence
of medication might freak him out. Exactly. Okay. We just got some information
that the suspect is MHMR. MHMR refers to him
having mental health issues, so I don't really
feel comfortable launching on him from the front side
of that house. It could easily turn into
a suicide-by-cop situation. <i>The suspect's right there.</i> That's an open door. I don't think we ought to be
making entry right there. The guy is right there,
sitting, <i>waiting for us.</i> Yeah, you're right. (Lee)
We launch on him
through the front, he'll see us on approach,
so we'll catch him off guard by coming through the back. Right now, we'll just
get down there and see what happens. We're probably gonna
step this up pretty quick, though. The suspect may be mentally ill,
high on meth. We got to get him out of there
pretty quick. Right now, we have
a barricaded person with a suicidal subject. (Newton)
This suspect actually has been handled
for violent behavior before. So they said he's got
bipolar disorder. He was recently
arrested for meth. (Lee)
The suspect may be mentally ill,
high on meth. We launch on him
through the front, he'll see us on approach,
so we'll catch him off guard by coming through the back. He's suicidal,
and also, we do know that he's bipolar,
and he's off his medication. On top of that,
he may be doing methamphetamine, so that's not
a good combination. Oh, he's
sitting right here. Yeah, he's sitting
right here, they say. (Eastman)
Worst-case scenario, the suspect
turns the gun on himself or does something violent
towards our entry team. Best case is if we can
coax him out voluntarily and get him the help
that he needs. 880 to CP.
Let's go ahead and start. Do your thing, K.J. This is
the Dallas Police SWAT. <i>[over speaker]
We know you're inside.</i> I was told you were
a little confused. <i>We have a medical staff here
that's willing to help you.</i> <i>We've even spoke
to your doctor.</i> What I want for you to do is walk out of the front door. You and I can communicate. I'll put you in touch
with the right people, and everything will be fine. When you have
the mental problems, it makes it hard, because whenever
they're stressed out, they don't think rationally. <i>You got to communicate with me.</i> <i>You got to talk to me.</i> <i>Yell through the window,</i> <i>and just tell me
what you're thinking.</i> (Lee)
We've been
loud-hailing the suspect for a good while now,
and we haven't heard a word, so we're kind of
preparing ourselves for the possibility
that the suspect may have injured himself. <i>If you can hear me,
come on out of the front door.</i> <i>If you need medical attention,
we have doctors</i> and a medical staff here. <i>Because you've threatened
to hurt yourself,</i> <i>if you continue to stay inside,</i> <i>eventually,
we're gonna be forced</i> <i>to come in and check on you.</i> <i>to come in and check on you.</i> 880 to CP,
I'm about to deploy a BFR. Hopefully the bullets
will startle him and scare him, and he'll come out
the front door. Now, if that doesn't work,
we'll have to go in and get him. <i>(man)
Gung ho.</i> plink! [bullets clattering] plink! <i>(Jackson)
Right now, nothing good
can happen</i> <i>with you staying
inside of the house.</i> You have to listen to me. You have to allow me
to help you. It's real simple. Just think about what's going on <i>and make the smart decision.</i> <i>Come on out of the front door.</i> <i>[indistinct radio chatter]</i> (Jackson)
The door is open. <i>Come on. Come on.</i> <i>There we go.</i> <i>Walk straight to my boys.</i> <i>[man over radio]
Suspect coming out.</i> (Lee)
10-4. Will prep. <i>(Jackson)
Lock your hands
behind your head.</i> There you go. <i>Turn around.</i> <i>Turn around.
Back up to me.</i> <i>There you go,
straight back.</i> <i>Straight back, come on.</i> <i>Lift your feet.</i> <i>There you go, perfect.</i> <i>Come on back.</i> <i>Keep walking.</i> <i>Come all the way back.</i> <i>There you go.</i> Right here,
give me this hand. There you go. Taking you
by the command post. I'll let you know
what's going on back there. Kind of happy
with how we stepped it up. We went--we got in there
pretty quick. I've traded an M4
for a television remote. The pain down my leg
was gone in the recovery room. Now it's just the pain
where the incision is and all the hardware
that they put in. Thanks. I talked to some of the guys
the other day, and they're real busy
here lately. One operation, so I'm kind of
wishing I was at work. <i>I miss doing
all that kind of stuff.</i> <i>It's a lot more fun</i> than sitting on the couch
watching TV. It's amazing
how much better you feel in your
recuperating from surgery compared to what it was like
before surgery. You put it off
for so long. I do wish I would have done it
a long time ago. Scooter wants to give you
a get-well kiss. I don't want one
from Scooter, mm-mm. [Jeannene laughs] Captioning by<font color="#008000"> CaptionMax
