CNN will have this on the air in just a minute. No, it's on TV right now. I'm sure he's fine and we've got some pedestrians here on the side of the road, guys be careful, the guy's going about 30 miles an hour, he's on his front tires, six of his 18 swag tires, does he still have his traction tires on the? On the other side of the cabin, I don't think so, I think he has ribs there too, who is he? The dps, we've got dps up here, they're getting ready to fire, you've got a guy to fly firing again, they hit the radiator, he's overheating. your engine has gone stiff right there on the faster side there are dark tinted windows above the cabin so you can see out but we can't see in yes I can see inside the cabin from the mirror , they are not visible, it seems that they are in a sleeper, not the police, they stopped the truck.

Negotiators can take an active role. They are going to play a critical role in freeing this

driver

. We're going to go ahead and try to locate Christy, the hostage, through her cell phone and give it a try. to contact the suspect now hi hi christy hi its joe can you hear my dog ​​barking? I can't, yes, I know your dog is barking in your hair. Can you hear me? Yeah, it's okay, you're doing a good job, she thought. The guy, let me, please, help me. He needs to talk to us. We need to talk to him to explain what is happening.

Sam. Can you hear me? Listen to me. Sam. What you are requesting for us to send a multimedia camera there. It's not going to happen, okay, our bosses aren't going to let that happen, okay, we've got eyes on, well my job now is to provide intelligence for the assault. I have eyes on this front windshield so I can find him, unfortunately he has the blinds back so I can't see him at all right now unless they close that blind, they do it right in front of us. We won't have good eyes to see it. Hi Christy, I'm Joe.

I'm hyperventilating or something I know you have. to move that truck in front of me, which the SWAT team sees me right in front of my truck, they're looking at it, yeah, they have their gun down, I know he's sitting right behind me, you have to move that truck, I don't. I don't care, please help me move the truck, my God, I don't care anymore, please move the truck. I know, Christy, let me talk to Sam, he loves her. Is he suffering here? Christie Sam, can you hear me? Sam, yes, Sam saying. christie tell me to move those trucks back it's not going to work okay we have to figure this out sam the bosses said let christy out of there you can talk to all the media you want to make them okay , but that's only going to happen

when

you and Christy get out of there.

Can I go to the door? Yes, which door do you want to go on the

driver

's side? No, Sam, no one will go near there. They won't let anyone go near there. Christie, is he hurting you? and he said he had to hang up, stay there, please move the truck, please move the truck, why do you want them to move the truck in front of you? Cause they're up there with the sniper gun and he's directly behind me holding a gun to my head help me please no honey please please no please no please no what please no what did sam say here let me have it and let me throw it out the window baby let me have it please let me talk to him baby please if I throw the gun out the window throw the gun baby please I'm on my back they won't let me up until I throw that gun Tell him, do you see the truck behind him? to say "hit", I'm back there, okay, okay, come on, come here, she's coming, she's coming out, the dog and the female are outside.

The suspect is still inside. She came out and threw the gun over here. The hostage is outside, but we are not. I don't know what the situation is there if he is still armed with another weapon or not. A10 to the CP recommends gassing that taxi through the open door 810 880 now is a good time to gas with that door open, we don't know what their mentality is. There it is, he hung up the phones without speaking to us, we don't know if he will come out and force the situation with a blow and try to get him killed.

Eyes on the boys, let me know what you see. They have eyes on the radio. hush, okay, suspect is in the front cab, now it looks like he's coming out, coming out the driver's side, coming in the driver's side, got it, bob, ribcage, move it up, check the cab, hit the taxi, the suspect is being detained, what's your name man, what's joe? I'll talk to him in a minute. The suspect said he knew he was going to do this last night. He is upset because he can't find a job. He is on parole. He is a convicted felon and the only thing he has to live for is just to have children.

Today was a pretty intense situation for everyone involved. Things went pretty well. The hostage was released. It must have been a terrifying experience for her. She did a great job and a little gas convinced the bad guy to come out. I think overall he worked pretty well today it's a good feeling to have him as a SWAT officer, go ahead Scotty, go ahead you.
