HIM OUT WITHOUT INJURY. YEAH AMERICA AND THE TACTICAL TEAM HAS LEFT THE SCENE BUT POLICE ARE STILL HERE. WE’RE GOING TO LET YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THAT HOUSE NOW. THEY GOT THE CALL THAT THERE MIGHT BE A DEAD BODY. AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED, THERE WAS A MAN IN THE HOUSE, BUT HE WOULDN’T OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THAT SUSPECT TO SLOWLY BACK OUT TO THEM. YOU’LL SEE THAT HERE IN THE SACK. FIRST, THEY WERE COMMUNING WITH HIM, COMMUNICATING WITH HIM FOR HOURS BEFORE THEY WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO BREACH THAT DOOR AND GET THE MAN OUT. THEY SAID THEY TALKED TO HIM ON THE PHONE. BUT AT ONE POINT YOU CAN HEAR THEM SAYING THINGS TO HIM OVER SPEAKER OF SOME SORT AFTER THEY SAY HIS PHONE RAN OUT OF BATTERY. POLICE TELL US THE MAN WAS SAYING HE HAD A SHOTGUN AND THEY HEARD MULTIPLE SHOTS GO OFF IN THE HOUSE, BUT THEY HAVEN’T CONFIRMED WHAT WEAPON HE HAD. WHEN WE TALK TO THEM, HOMICIDE INVESTIGATOR IS OUT HERE NOW AND THEY TELL US THEY DON’T KNOW THE CAUSE OF DEATH FOR THE WOMAN THAT THEY FOUND DEAD. WE’RE TOLD THEY WERE BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND BY POLICE. NOW, NEIGHBORS SAY THEY COULD HEAR POLICE TALKING TO THE MAN AND ONE NEIGHBOR DESCRIBED THEIR WORRY WHILE WATCHING THE SCENE, BUT FELT POLICE HAD IT UNDER CONTROL. MINA IT’S DEFINITELY A LITTLE SCARY, BUT I MEAN, I DON’T FEEL IN DANGER. YOU COULD HEAR THEM TRYING TO TALK HIM AND COAX HIM OUT OF THE HOUS
