This presentation presents a unique circumstance in which 13 people were taken hostage in a bank. The hostage taker called 911 from within the bank and stated that he had a bomb and made demands. As the situation unfolded, several hostages escaped out a rear door, and in the process, uniform officers stepped in to escort them. As uniform officers stepped in, they inadvertently made visual contact with the suspect, who was approximately 25m behind the teller area, wearing a suicide vest. Tactical members and two snipers mobilized within the bank and took over uniform positions. The suspect indicated that he had a dead-man switch and for the officers to go ahead and shoot him. The suspect had zip-tied several patrons and he held one directly in front of him as a human shield. The suspect stated that he had planted six other explosives in a highly populated area set to go off in approximately 2 hours. As communication and observations of the suspect continued, it was noticed that the suspect had moved his finger briefly off of what was believed to be the dead-man switch. A deliberate hostage rescue ensued and two simultaneous sniper shots were followed by an entry. Learn how tactical and bomb personnel dealt with the suspect and explosives, hostages, and multiple crime scenes. Several lessons learned, challenges, and points of emphasis will be made during this debrief.
