This debrief describes a tactical situation which started when a DNR warden initiated a pursuit of a stolen vehicle, with shots being fired at pursuing officers. The vehicle was ultimately pitted into a guard rail near an on ramp to I-94, a busy traffic area. Immediately, the vehicle windows of the stolen minivan were covered with blankets to deliberately hinder tactical officers' visual observations. The male subject demanded a hostage negotiator and indicated he had two hostages, an adult female and a 6-month-old baby. The standoff lasted for hours, with a multi-jurisdictional response from assisting law enforcement tactical assets. The situation is ended with the male subject being shot by tactical officers. The presenters will cover all aspects of the operation, and will show perspective from the negotiation side in this complex and somewhat unusual incident.
