1 00:00:08,034 --> 00:00:09,862 In Washington State, 2 00:00:09,862 --> 00:00:12,965 an off-duty officer spots a wanted criminal. 3 00:00:12,965 --> 00:00:15,551 He said, "Hey, I'm looking at Sal right now." 4 00:00:21,724 --> 00:00:23,137 Get out of my car! 5 00:00:23,931 --> 00:00:24,896 In Georgia... 6 00:00:27,586 --> 00:00:29,896 'Cause at that point, she may not even care about her own life. 7 00:00:29,896 --> 00:00:32,275 ...police are called to a woman driving recklessly. 8 00:00:35,275 --> 00:00:37,206 The last thing any police officer wants to do 9 00:00:37,206 --> 00:00:38,862 is fire their weapon in the line of duty. 10 00:00:38,862 --> 00:00:39,862 And in Florida... 11 00:00:41,137 --> 00:00:43,379 We know that we are on a manhunt 12 00:00:43,379 --> 00:00:44,793 for at least one individual. 13 00:01:01,068 --> 00:01:02,551 In Washington State, 14 00:01:02,551 --> 00:01:04,689 just south of the Canadian border, 15 00:01:05,586 --> 00:01:07,655 is the coastal city of Moses Lake. 16 00:01:11,793 --> 00:01:13,206 Detective Curt Ledeboer 17 00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:15,482 has been with the Moses Lake Police Department 18 00:01:15,482 --> 00:01:16,758 for more than 10 years. 19 00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:20,137 Being a police officer in my home community, 20 00:01:20,137 --> 00:01:22,448 I feel is very gratifying. 21 00:01:22,448 --> 00:01:24,689 We've come across people who are in trouble, 22 00:01:24,689 --> 00:01:25,862 for whatever reason, 23 00:01:25,862 --> 00:01:27,551 and they see somebody that they're familiar with, 24 00:01:27,551 --> 00:01:28,689 I think it helps. 25 00:01:33,586 --> 00:01:36,172 I was with my family at a school event. 26 00:01:36,172 --> 00:01:37,655 We were out there, just having a good time. 27 00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:40,000 While we were there, 28 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,689 I observed a person walk 29 00:01:41,689 --> 00:01:44,241 into the barbecue area who I was familiar with. 30 00:01:45,275 --> 00:01:46,827 His full name is Salvador Harguindeguy. 31 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,068 I knew he had been causing a problem 32 00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:52,793 for our patrol officers for the last couple of months. 33 00:01:53,517 --> 00:01:55,137 So I contacted Sergeant Jones, 34 00:01:55,137 --> 00:01:57,655 who was working on as supervisor that day, 35 00:01:57,655 --> 00:01:59,344 to check to make sure Mr. Harguindeguy 36 00:01:59,344 --> 00:02:01,103 in fact had outstanding warrants, 37 00:02:01,103 --> 00:02:03,655 or probable cause for his arrest. 38 00:02:03,655 --> 00:02:06,413 I received a phone call from Detective Ledeboer, 39 00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:10,000 and he said, "Hey, I'm looking at Sal right now." 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,758 Detective Ledeboer has reason to be cautious. 41 00:02:13,827 --> 00:02:15,482 Sal's criminal background involves 42 00:02:15,482 --> 00:02:17,758 drug sales, firearms trafficking, 43 00:02:17,758 --> 00:02:20,448 and association with violent criminals. 44 00:02:36,827 --> 00:02:39,310 In January of 2020, 45 00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:41,827 one of our officers responded to an incident 46 00:02:41,827 --> 00:02:45,000 where he was involved and a shot was fired. 47 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,620 The vehicle was impounded. 48 00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:48,482 The firearm was located. 49 00:02:48,482 --> 00:02:51,827 Another circumstance, I came in contact with him myself. 50 00:02:53,379 --> 00:02:56,068 In 2021, we had a call for service. 51 00:02:56,068 --> 00:02:57,241 Two guys fighting, 52 00:02:57,241 --> 00:03:00,724 one person was supposed to be armed with a firearm. 53 00:03:00,724 --> 00:03:03,551 Myself and one of my team members arrived on the scene. 54 00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:26,551 So we separated everybody. 55 00:03:26,551 --> 00:03:28,793 Paul looked in the car and could see the firearm 56 00:03:28,793 --> 00:03:30,655 sticking out from underneath the seat. 57 00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:59,413 We took him into custody at that time, 58 00:03:59,413 --> 00:04:01,965 knowing that he was a convicted felon, 59 00:04:01,965 --> 00:04:05,068 and couldn't be in possession of a firearm. 60 00:04:05,068 --> 00:04:09,482 Salvador Harguindeguy was arrested again in April, 2021, 61 00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:12,275 when an officer caught him driving without a license. 62 00:04:21,793 --> 00:04:24,310 And again, Harguindeguy had a gun. 63 00:04:42,103 --> 00:04:44,103 Putting Harguindeguy in jail 64 00:04:44,103 --> 00:04:47,172 has proved complicated for officers. 65 00:04:47,172 --> 00:04:50,275 Salvador Harguindeguy is a savvy criminal, 66 00:04:50,275 --> 00:04:53,965 that knows to constantly be on the move. 67 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,482 He knows that if he says certain things 68 00:04:56,482 --> 00:04:58,620 that he might have the potential 69 00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,586 of being released or not going to jail. 70 00:05:15,724 --> 00:05:16,931 Okay. 71 00:05:16,931 --> 00:05:19,241 He has brought up that he has some type 72 00:05:19,241 --> 00:05:21,344 of pre-existing coronary problem. 73 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,896 That is of great concern 74 00:05:24,896 --> 00:05:26,758 to any type of correctional facility, 75 00:05:26,758 --> 00:05:29,965 because once they have custody of that individual, 76 00:05:29,965 --> 00:05:32,551 if something does happen to them medically, 77 00:05:32,551 --> 00:05:34,517 then they're going to be responsible 78 00:05:34,517 --> 00:05:36,413 to make sure that that's addressed, 79 00:05:36,413 --> 00:05:38,931 and that can be a very expensive process. 80 00:05:38,931 --> 00:05:40,965 He was becoming more and more dangerous, 81 00:05:40,965 --> 00:05:44,482 and he needed to be put in custody. 82 00:05:46,241 --> 00:05:48,068 Mr. Harguindeguy is a convicted felon 83 00:05:48,068 --> 00:05:49,896 who is still showing a propensity 84 00:05:49,896 --> 00:05:51,758 to regularly possess firearms, 85 00:05:51,758 --> 00:05:53,137 so there's an inherent danger 86 00:05:53,137 --> 00:05:55,551 that he's at the school with a firearm. 87 00:05:55,551 --> 00:05:59,310 He had several very serious warrants for his arrest. 88 00:05:59,310 --> 00:06:02,896 It had the potential to be a catastrophic event. 89 00:06:02,896 --> 00:06:04,758 I knew he had demonstrated 90 00:06:04,758 --> 00:06:07,275 a lack of cooperation with law enforcement. 91 00:06:07,275 --> 00:06:09,586 I knew Sal was not gonna respond to his summons 92 00:06:09,586 --> 00:06:11,517 to the courthouse to just turn himself in. 93 00:06:11,517 --> 00:06:14,379 He's at a school, at a family event. 94 00:06:14,379 --> 00:06:18,344 Our biggest concern would be that he would involve innocents, 95 00:06:18,344 --> 00:06:21,241 in whatever his activity that took place, 96 00:06:21,241 --> 00:06:23,689 trying to get away from law enforcement. 97 00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:26,413 Being off-duty, I felt that the best route 98 00:06:26,413 --> 00:06:29,448 for me was to just relay to fully marked, 99 00:06:29,448 --> 00:06:31,000 fully visible police officers. 100 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,551 I did not believe it's in the best interests of the school 101 00:06:33,551 --> 00:06:35,103 or anybody's family, 102 00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:39,724 to make any overt action on my own. 103 00:06:39,724 --> 00:06:43,137 I'm driving to the scene where Mr. Harguindeguy is, 104 00:06:43,137 --> 00:06:46,827 trying to coordinate both on radio and via phone 105 00:06:46,827 --> 00:06:49,482 with all the assets that we were going to need 106 00:06:49,482 --> 00:06:51,689 to do this as safely as possible. 107 00:06:57,103 --> 00:06:58,965 We park our vehicle on the street. 108 00:07:00,137 --> 00:07:02,103 It's me and Detective Ramirez. 109 00:07:02,103 --> 00:07:04,137 And we exit our vehicle 110 00:07:04,137 --> 00:07:06,448 and proceed to start walking into the school. 111 00:07:19,344 --> 00:07:22,241 I parked to the west of the school on an access road. 112 00:07:23,379 --> 00:07:25,758 We were making final adjustments 113 00:07:25,758 --> 00:07:28,379 to where the perimeter units were. 114 00:07:28,379 --> 00:07:31,517 I knew Corporal Lopez was on his way in, 115 00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:35,344 and knew that Detective Salazar and Corporal Ramirez 116 00:07:35,344 --> 00:07:38,103 were in the parking lot, and were heading in. 117 00:07:39,689 --> 00:07:43,517 Corporal Lopez is one of our school resource officers. 118 00:07:43,517 --> 00:07:47,103 So he went in, and then his presence, I think, 119 00:07:47,103 --> 00:07:48,965 was the final straw for Harguindeguy. 120 00:07:48,965 --> 00:07:50,758 He saw a uniformed officer, 121 00:07:50,758 --> 00:07:53,965 and his instincts to run kicked in immediately. 122 00:08:06,931 --> 00:08:08,379 As we're walking in, 123 00:08:08,379 --> 00:08:10,482 we maybe made it five or six paces 124 00:08:10,482 --> 00:08:11,931 before over the radio, 125 00:08:11,931 --> 00:08:15,068 somebody calls out that Salvador is running. 126 00:08:19,724 --> 00:08:23,517 He just basically ran out the side door on the west side. 127 00:08:24,827 --> 00:08:27,344 Which means that he was coming in my direction. 128 00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:35,413 I started slowly rolling forward. 129 00:08:39,172 --> 00:08:41,758 And then he popped out. 130 00:08:41,758 --> 00:08:45,172 He immediately recognized the patrol vehicle coming at him, 131 00:08:45,172 --> 00:08:48,137 which caused Harguindeguy to change directions and flee. 132 00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:52,827 As I'm running back into my vehicle 133 00:08:52,827 --> 00:08:55,482 to get in, I'm thinking, "This sucks." 134 00:08:55,482 --> 00:08:58,965 And I'm thinking, "God, I hope he doesn't get away from us. 135 00:08:58,965 --> 00:09:02,275 I hope he doesn't find a crack to hide in, or something like that." 136 00:09:04,551 --> 00:09:06,413 I turned with the anticipation 137 00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:09,137 that he would continue in one of two directions. 138 00:09:20,172 --> 00:09:22,724 I could see him off to the south, 139 00:09:22,724 --> 00:09:24,413 and he was at a dead run 140 00:09:24,413 --> 00:09:26,862 towards the four-foot perimeter fence 141 00:09:26,862 --> 00:09:29,827 of the school yard, which he vaulted over. 142 00:09:29,827 --> 00:09:31,620 And then he continued 143 00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:33,965 through a big, open construction area. 144 00:09:35,034 --> 00:09:37,965 My worst fear was that there was anybody 145 00:09:37,965 --> 00:09:40,689 that he may harm in the process of getting away. 146 00:09:52,965 --> 00:09:55,068 Sergeant Jones went right, and I went left. 147 00:09:55,068 --> 00:09:56,896 We were both looking for paths 148 00:09:56,896 --> 00:10:00,172 to come down that embankment, that drop-off. 149 00:10:03,793 --> 00:10:05,448 He had changed directions, 150 00:10:05,448 --> 00:10:09,172 and was running towards a woman standing outside of a running car. 151 00:10:18,241 --> 00:10:21,689 I knew that he was going to try to access that vehicle and flee. 152 00:10:23,103 --> 00:10:26,482 He's running straight at her, at the open car door. 153 00:10:26,482 --> 00:10:30,310 And I had no idea what he was going to do to her, 154 00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:32,206 to take control of that car. 155 00:10:32,206 --> 00:10:36,344 I just noticed a man running down the hill. 156 00:10:36,344 --> 00:10:39,172 I had my two younger children in the back seat, 157 00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:41,724 strapped into their car seats. 158 00:10:41,724 --> 00:10:44,551 My initial reaction at that moment was something was wrong. 159 00:11:11,517 --> 00:11:14,827 My greatest fear was that he was going to get the car in gear 160 00:11:14,827 --> 00:11:17,275 and drag her under the car, 161 00:11:17,275 --> 00:11:20,793 or he was going to do something to that woman 162 00:11:20,793 --> 00:11:23,103 to try to get her off of him. 163

00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:01,068 There was a car that was coming into town 422 00:29:01,068 --> 00:29:03,034 at a pretty high rate of speed 423 00:29:03,034 --> 00:29:05,931 and I was able to get the tag off the vehicle 424 00:29:05,931 --> 00:29:08,482 and it came back as a suspended license. 425 00:29:11,034 --> 00:29:13,586 I activated my emergency light. 426 00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:15,034 He actually sped up. 427 00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:23,137 My plan at this point was 428 00:29:23,137 --> 00:29:25,206 calling out over the radio to let the other deputies know 429 00:29:25,206 --> 00:29:27,137 where exactly he was going to. 430 00:29:27,137 --> 00:29:30,413 Corporal Jurec is monitoring the radio close by. 431 00:29:32,896 --> 00:29:34,793 From listening to the calls 432 00:29:34,793 --> 00:29:37,000 I kinda determined that the vehicle was coming behind me. 433 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,275 You got the adrenaline pushing on you 434 00:29:44,206 --> 00:29:45,793 and you're just trying to figure out 435 00:29:45,793 --> 00:29:47,620 the ten different ways this could go. 436 00:29:50,586 --> 00:29:53,413 I think he knew that he was losing control of the car. 437 00:29:56,827 --> 00:29:58,034 He was going too fast. 438 00:30:10,379 --> 00:30:12,965 I could see the car swerving slightly 439 00:30:12,965 --> 00:30:14,517 and then that's when he ended up 440 00:30:14,517 --> 00:30:16,379 going off to the right side of the road... 441 00:30:20,379 --> 00:30:23,000 and he just went right off into the ditch. 442 00:30:56,448 --> 00:30:57,793 There's multiple different officers 443 00:30:57,793 --> 00:30:59,793 that arrive at this point in time. 444 00:30:59,793 --> 00:31:02,241 Deputy Jurec was right there pretty quick. 445 00:31:02,241 --> 00:31:04,206 Commander Finn, he was there pretty fast. 446 00:31:21,724 --> 00:31:23,275 You don't know how many people are in the car, 447 00:31:23,275 --> 00:31:25,241 we don't know what they've done, 448 00:31:25,241 --> 00:31:26,827 we don't know what they've been involved in. 449 00:31:26,827 --> 00:31:28,551 They could have a weapon on 'em. 450 00:31:28,551 --> 00:31:30,172 Uh, they could be desperate. 451 00:31:30,172 --> 00:31:32,689 Willing to try to hurt us. 452 00:31:32,689 --> 00:31:34,827 At the same time, they could be unconscious 453 00:31:34,827 --> 00:31:36,241 laying in the... laying in the car. 454 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,034 There was a few of us that could hear 455 00:31:41,034 --> 00:31:42,724 some kind of rustling around in the woods 456 00:31:42,724 --> 00:31:44,206 beside where the car was. 457 00:32:37,310 --> 00:32:40,241 I elect to pick up the shield and be the shield man. 458 00:32:40,241 --> 00:32:41,965 I'm the type of person that will always 459 00:32:41,965 --> 00:32:43,655 take the lead on something. 460 00:32:43,655 --> 00:32:46,241 And if... if someone's gonna be in that vehicle and shoot back 461 00:32:46,241 --> 00:32:47,620 I wanna be the first one to get hit 462 00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:49,034 instead of one of my... one of my friends. 463 00:32:50,275 --> 00:32:53,655 At that point Deputy Boyd was scanning the wood line. 464 00:32:53,655 --> 00:32:56,517 Protecting our backs while we approached the vehicle. 465 00:33:06,413 --> 00:33:09,137 I was behind Corporal Jurec 466 00:33:09,137 --> 00:33:10,827 behind the shield, giving commands. 467 00:33:29,413 --> 00:33:31,655 We were able to shine our flashlights in from a distance 468 00:33:31,655 --> 00:33:33,034 and nobody was in there. 469 00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:54,620 After we determined that the vehicle was clear from anybody 470 00:33:54,620 --> 00:33:57,896 we know we are on a manhunt for at least one individual. 471 00:34:00,965 --> 00:34:02,655 We could just start going through the woods 472 00:34:02,655 --> 00:34:05,758 but we really have no idea where this person can be. 473 00:34:12,379 --> 00:34:15,034 This time we wanted air support to help look for the subject 474 00:34:15,034 --> 00:34:17,965 so I authorized Volusia County's Air One to come and assist us. 475 00:34:20,482 --> 00:34:23,000 The helicopters have, what's called a FLIR 476 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,551 which is, uh, thermal imaging 477 00:34:24,551 --> 00:34:27,068 which can look for heat signatures 478 00:34:27,068 --> 00:34:29,931 and persons in an environment where we would not be able to see them. 479 00:34:39,275 --> 00:34:41,827 Shortly after Volucia County's Air One arrived 480 00:34:41,827 --> 00:34:45,517 the pilot advised that they had an image of the subject 481 00:34:45,517 --> 00:34:47,172 hiding in a swamp, nearby, 482 00:34:47,172 --> 00:34:49,241 and they're only able to see his head. 483 00:34:52,551 --> 00:34:54,448 I then called in our fan boat 484 00:34:54,448 --> 00:34:57,000 which is designed for this type of area. 485 00:34:58,517 --> 00:35:01,413 It's a flat bottom wide boat. 486 00:35:01,413 --> 00:35:04,655 It has a propeller on

00:35:12,241 to get to places that other boats cannot get to. 490 00:35:16,965 --> 00:35:19,137 Once I got it into the water, 491 00:35:19,137 --> 00:35:20,689 I had to drive around the pond 492
