[narrator] In Rothschild, Wisconsin,
a suspect in custody escapes
[Bauknecht speaking]
There goes my squad car, it's just driving down the road.
Squad car that has a loaded rifle and a shotgun in it.
I cannot let him get away.
[woman speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
I wanted a couple more moments of freedom, I guess.
By any means possible.
[narrator] In Tulsa, Oklahom
We, we both were feeling, you know, the red flag. Something's wrong.
[narrator] Gunfire at a gas station.
[gunshots]
[policeman] We see the gentleman that's in a ca pull a gun out,
point it at us, and start shooting.
[Cawiezell speaking]
[woman screams]
[Cawiezell speaking]
I see sergeant Parsons and he is down.
We gotta end this threat.
[muffled speech over radio]
[dispatch] Shots fired...
[police officer shouts]
[narrator] In central Wisconsin,
in the suburbs of Wausau,
is the village of Rothschild
[phone line ringing]
[911 operator speaking]
[caller speaking]
[911 operator speaking]
[caller speaking]
[911 operator speaking]
[caller speaking]
[911 operator speaking]
[caller speaking]
[Bauknecht] We had immediately left.
No lights, no sirens.
Usually someone breaking or entering,
you wanna go a little bit quieter.
[Schroeder speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
[automated voice speaking]
[Bauknecht] The vehicle was parked on the sidewalk and on the driveway approach
So it was driving on the sidewalk.
I don't see anybody around, but the driver's door was open.
And the vehicle was running
[Schroeder speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
[Bauknecht] I recognized the license plate
from a report of a stolen vehicle.
from the city of Wausau.
[Schroeder speaking]
[radio beeps]
[dispatch speaking]
[Schroeder speaking]
[clears throat]
I went to the back side of the garage,
and at that point, I saw a tall, white male
going from the garage into the residence service door.
[Boettcher speaking]
[Schroeder speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
[radio beeps]
[dispatch speaking]
[Schroeder speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
[radio beeps and crackles]
[Boettcher speaking]
[woman speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
[clears throat]
[Boettcher speaking]
[woman speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
-[dog barks] -[man speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
[man speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
[man and woman speaking]
Officer Schroeder and Deputy Boettcher went in the house.
I was still on the back house.
[clanging]
I heard a clanging noise.
[Bauknecht speaking]
[Schroeder speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
Sorry about that, but...
[dispatch speaking]
-10-4. -[woman speaking]
[Schroeder]
[woman] Do I have time to get my...
[Schroeder] If you're sayin that door is never shut...
[Boettcher speaking]
There's someone in there.
[Boettcher speaking]
I was still on the back house.
[rustling]
[Bauknecht] And the bathroom window down there,
somebody's trying to slide the window open.
[rustling]
The curtain in there, I could see it moving.
So I grab the curtain and I pull it back.
[Bauknecht speaking]
To my surprise, the suspect was sitting on the top of the toilet,
with his head about a foot away from me.
-[bleep] -[Bauknecht speaking]
[Bauknecht speaking]
[Schroeder speaking]
The bathroom door unlocked.
And out he comes. Hands up, mask on.
[Boettcher speaking]
[man speaking]
[Boettcher speaking]
[Schroeder speaking]
[rustling]
[Boettcher speaking]
[man speaking]
[man] Just gonna move, move my hand--
[Schroeder speaking]
[man] What's going on?
[Boettcher speaking]
[man] For what?
[chatter over radio]
[man speaking]
From there, we did a secondary search of the house.
[Schroeder] We got our full focus on our initial information
that there were possibly multiple people.
[Schroeder speaking]
There was no other people in the house.
[Schroeder speaking]
-[man speaks inaudibly] -[Schroeder speaking]
[man groans]
[Bauknecht] You push that one open, there?
[man exclaims]
[Bauknecht speaking]
[Schroeder speaking]
[chatter over radio]
[Schroeder speaking]
[man over radio] Stolen vehicle, or is it just theft?
[Schroeder] 7-3, we'll add additional charges.
[Schroeder speaking]
-[man over radio] Four five eight seven three. -[Bigger clears throat]
When I first arrived, I wasn't really sure
if they were gonna need any help at all.
[Bigger] The suspect had already been arrested.
So I returned back to my squad,
and I look up, and I can se that Rothschild's squad
had a turn signal on.
And I knew that wasn't right
[tires screech]
Rothschild's squad was backing up towards me.
I hear a loud noise.
-I could see the officer start to stumble. - [siren wails]
And in that moment,
my only thought was that somebody had just been shot.
[indistinct shouting]
[Jonathon] When those handcuffs are attached to you
it almost feels like it's end of the world for a minute.
I looked like a deer in headlights.
I am looking every which way, to see if I can bolt any which way.
Um...
If there's anything that would work to my advantage.
You can fight, but...
not really with a bunch of police officers.
You're bound to lose.
As soon as they put me in the back of the squad car
All I'm thinking is how I can escape.
Any way.
[Bauknecht] When I looked over, that's when I saw Deputy Boettcher
had his gun out, pointed at the driver's side door
of the Rothschild Police Department car.
Then he was looking to transition to his baton, and then strike the window.
But it didn't break, so I was certain it wasn't a gunshot
because I saw the baton strike.
All of a sudden, I just hea this big commotion behind me
-[siren wailing] -And I look, and there goes my squad car.
It's just driving down the road.
Somehow, a handcuffed subject in custody has now stolen a squad car.
[Jonathon] There's a little divider window.
About 12 inches by 12 inches.
As soon as I seen that it was missing,
I knew that I had only so much time
to get the cuffs in front of my body.
And try to squeeze up into that front seat.
I ended up hitting the gas first.
And then I hit the brake, and I put it in reverse.
And then took off.
I didn't wanna go to jail.
I wanted a couple more moments of freedom, I guess.
[Bigger] I turned on my lights and my siren.
And...
now I'm chasing a stolen Rothschild squad.
Squad car that has a loaded rifle and a shotgun in it.
[Bigger speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
[Bauknecht speaking]
[radio crackles]
[dispatch speaking]
[Bauknecht] When it comes t a stolen vehicle, anything can happen.
[Bigger] The squad has additional capabilities
that the typical SUV doesn't have.
And that squad was accelerating rapidly
in excess of 90 miles an hour.
In a very residential neighborhood.
Just as the day is beginnin and people are starting to wake up.
[Bigger speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
[Bigger] And based on the behavior I had already seen
I need to be ready for anything.
I had no plan. I wanted to get away,
where I felt like I had a healthy lead.
Looking for an escape route
And at that point, the only way that I seen
was through the church parking lot.
[Bigger speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
[Bigger speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
[Bauknecht] Still dark, but I could see his lights
and he shoots out across urban.
[Bauknecht speaking]
-[tires screech] -[Bauknecht speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
[Jonathon] I could've hit anybody in their backyard.
And at that time, I wasn't thinking about that
All I was thinking about was...
trying to get away.
[Bauknecht] My initial thought was,
"I cannot let him get away. I will do whatever I can to disable this vehicle."
[Jonathon] I seen a police car coming at me,
and I knew he was gonna try to PIT maneuver me.
[Bauknecht] I was able to ram the rear end of the squad car.
I just kept turning into his vehicle.
When our cars break loose,
I had lost sight of him at that point.
[car door beeps]
The squad car was losing a lot of power.
I ended up parking in someone's backyard.
There's the shotgun and the rifle.
I felt like I still had a chance at getting away.
My objective was just to keep running.
To take any opportunity to get away.
By any means possible.
[Bigger speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
Dispatch was able to see the GPS location of the squad.
That was the one advantage that we had.
[Bigger speaking]
[dispatch speaking]
I look at the street sign in front of me.
And I realize that I'm right there.
[Jonathon] At that point I'm like a fleeing animal.
All I was thinking is
"I have a chance to make it."
[Bigger speaking]
[Bigger] There's a citizen who comes out of the house, he was out on the street.
And he's pointing at me "He ran that way! He ran that way!"
And he's pointing in the same direction
that dispatch said he had gone.
Behind this group of houses
What's running through my mind at this time
is we needed to set up a perimeter and contain that individual
-[indistinct conversation] -[Berdal speaking]
[Berdal] Our deputies and local law enforcement
have a great working relationship.
They've attended trainings together.
My direction is just making sure that we have all sides covered.
[Jonathon] I noticed that they weren't behind me anymore.
But they were going around the block.
I'm running, 'cause of, of being afraid of locked up.
And I'm gonna try to defend myself.
At that time, all I was thinking was,
"I need to plan my time right."
[Berdal speaking]
-[Hessil] So this, this one? -[Berdal speaking]
[Hessil] We know what we're looking for,
but we have no clue where this person is.
[Hessil speaking]
[police 1 officer speaking]
[police 2 officer speaking]
As soon as that harness goes on,
Ace knows that it's time to track.
[Hessil] Walking up to the residence,
it was a little bit of an eerie feeling.
Knowing that he could be just right around the corner
[Hessil speaking]
[Hessil] Ace ran towards the swing sets.
From there, he went directl to the backdoor of the garage.
[dog whines]
I saw Ace turn and whimper.
[Hessil speaking]
It was at that moment that I knew
the suspect we were looking for was in the garage.
[Bauknecht] Given what I'd known of what he's already done,
the stolen vehicles, breaking into houses,
there's no telling what he would do.
I was immediately fearful for all of us.
[Hessil speaking]
I make the decision to, uh, clear the remainder of the house.
To make sure that he's not on the main floor.
All with the permission of the homeowner.
Property was a ranch style house.
There was a service door from the kitchen out to the garage.
[Hessil speaking]
[Jonathon] At that point, I was scared.
They had me surrounded.
If I would have been able to get the cuffs off,
I would've tried to go in the house
and get the keys to the car that was in there.
But I couldn't get 'em off.
I seen that there was an attic door in the garage.
And I ended up crawling up in there.
I could hear them.
So I was just trying to be quiet and hide in there.
[Hessil] I sent K9 Ace into the garage.
While K9 Ace was working,
I observed dust on the windshield and hood of the vehicle
which was parked in the garage.
And where the dust was laying was the entrance into the attic.
[Hessil speaking]
At that point, we believed that the subject was in the rafters.
Deputy Bauknecht had a two by four piece of wood there,
And he popped the hatch ope to the attic.
he's potentially armed.
We didn't know where he was at.
I can't imagine a worse series of events that could possibly happen
at that particular moment.
Deputy Stengle went up with a shield.
Lieutenant Kennick was behind him.
[Hessil speaking]
[Jonathon] I'm surrounded.
I was thinking about breaking in...
through the ceiling, 'cause I'm in the attic.
There's just drywall that's separating me.
But I knew that they were in the house below me alread
So I knew I was in trouble.
[Berdal] Deputy Hessil and his canine, Ace, went up the ladder.
[Hessil speaking]
[Hessil] He started to get a little amped up, going up the ladder.
He was ready to go.
[dog barks]
[Hessil speaking]
[dog barks]
[dog barking loudly]
At that point, I felt like the, more or less, the jig was up.
Uh, he could smell me.
And the officer told me to turn myself in.
To give myself up from being in there.
Otherwise, he'd sic his dog on me.
And that's when I stuck my hands up and sai "I'm right here."
And all of a sudden, I saw hands together, two of them,
pop out of the insulation
We found our guy.
-[indistinct conversation] -[Bauknecht speaking]
[Hessil] Deputy McRay moved to resecure our suspect and bring him into custody again
[Hessil speaking]
[officer] Oh, one at a time.
[officer speaking]
[Hessil speaking]
[Jonathon speaking]
[Hessil speaking]
[officer speaking]
[Hessil speaking]
[Hessil] It was intense.
There was, uh, a lot of relief.
[Hessil speaking]
[officers speaking]
One of our deputies checked the vehicle
and it was a relief to hear that the patrol rifle
in that squad car was still in the squad car and secured
So we knew he didn't steal the rifle from the patrol vehicle.
[narrator] Jonathon Bishop is convicted of two counts of taking
and driving a vehicle without consent.
One count of eluding an officer
and one count of escaping arrest.
Get your feet on the ground.
[narrator] He is sentenced to five years in prison.
And five more years of extended supervision.
[officer speaking]
[deputy speaking]
[Bauknecht] The whole experience just made me always expect the unexpected
I could've never imagined that this series of events would've happened
all in succession.
Very happy that he's in custody.
No one got hurt, everyone was safe.
And he was going to his proper spot in jail.
[Jonathon] I regret what I did.
I'm very remorseful.
I feel bad that people in that neighborhood had that go down.
How I made a secure place
feel unsecure.
I could have stopped at any time.
But I kept going.
And I didn't try to turn myself in,
I didn't try to give up.
At that moment I wasn't thinking about anybody other than myself.
[narrator] In Oklahoma's northeast corner is the state's second biggest city
Tulsa.
Gang Unit officers patrol one of the city's high crime areas.
[Cawiezell] When we're out working, we're in an unmarked police car.
Doesn't have anything that says to the average person, "police car."
To people who are familiar with the criminal world,
they recognize it as an unmarked police car.
[Bean] This actual area, we do know it's a high act criminal activity.
What goes on over there, anything from prostitution,
narcotic sales, gun sales.
[Cawiezell] There's a guy that's walking
and he looks and he does kinda the double-take.
And then he changes directio and he walks back the other way.
[Bean] He knew right away, soon as we turned that corne to that parking lot,
that that's a police car and he wanted nothing to do with us.
[Cawiezell] There's no law that he broke or anything like that.
But it's worth going and talking to the guy.
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
-[Chelsea speaking] -Yeah?
Yeah? You just need...
[Cawiezell speaking]
-[Chelsea speaking] -No?
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
So him not wanting to give us his name
or talk to us was not a big deal.
That's a hundred percent within his rights.
And at that moment,
there was no reason that he had to give his name.
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
-[Cawiezell speaking] -[Chelsea] Y'all have a good day.
[Cawiezell] He's talking to very cordial.
And he says, "can I leave?" I said, "sure, absolutely."
[Cawiezell speaking]
-[Chelsea] We got it. -[Junior] We're good.
[Cawiezell speaking]
As he's leaving, um, it's just one of those investigative things I wanna do,
I wanna run this plate and see what comes back.
So I read it off.
[bleep]
[Cawiezell] I type it in my computer
and the details that it gives me are different
than what I'm seeing out here on the streets.
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Bean] It's not the plate that belongs to it.
It's illegal, of course, to use that car.
It could be stolen.
It could've been involved in another crime.
[Cawiezell] You could walk away.
But then you just embolden the guy who's maybe a bad guy.
I think there's more going on here,
so I'm not walking away from this.
There's a different license plate on it,
this guy didn't wanna talk to us.
Who knows if this vehicle is stolen.
All the signs point to something criminal is going on.
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Bean] We don't see exactly where he goes
and absolutely could've gone on the highway right next to us and been gone.
And we could've never even seen him again.
We both are feeling, you know, the red flags.
We're feeling that Spidey Sense that something's wrong.
We dip through a parking lot of the gas station.
We do, like, a lap around i
and we get about halfway around and see the car.
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Cawiezell] I notice that the female that was in the c is walking out of QuikTrip.
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea] He's back in the car.
-[Cawiezell speaking] -Yeah.
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
-Huh? -[Chelsea speaking]
-[Cawiezell speaking] -[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Cawiezell] She immediately starts talking about the tag
"oh, I know it's the wrong tag."
So we start asking for people's verification,
because now we need to figure out who these people are
and what's going on with this car.
[dog barking]
[Bean] As I'm walking up to the car,
I can distinguish that he is inside the vehicl
um, and he is in that back middle seat.
I notice he does have some dogs in the back.
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[dog barking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Bean speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Bean speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
-[dog barking] -Hey!
Hey! [shushes]
[Junior speaking]
-No, Simba. -[Cawiezell, Bean speaking]
[Junior] Yeah.
[Bean speaking]
-[Chelsea] Simba. -[Junior speaking]
-[Cawiezell speaking] -[Junior repeats]
When someone says, uh...
"I don't go by my government name,"
it just kept building suspicion that there's something more
than a wrong tag on the car
Does he have a warrant?
Is he wanted for some, for some crime?
[Junior speaking]
-[Bean] Yeah. -[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Bean] He starts saying we don't have jurisdiction,
so you know something is wrong now.
Now he's just trying to avoid any further investigation.
And that's when things started kinda going sideways.
[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell] The female, she's just like this background noise,
also trying to pull us from what our focus is, which is him.
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
-[Chelsea] You're not the first people. -[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
-[Junior speaking] -[Chelsea] Sit.
-[Bean speaking] -[Junior speaking]
[Bean speaking]
-[Junior] Y'all don't know me, so. -[Bean] We gotta know...
[Bean speaking]
-[Chelsea speaking] -Huh?
[Bean speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
-[Cawiezell speaking] -[Junior speaking]
-[Cawiezell speaking] -[Chelsea speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Bean] He's being rude and short.
It's frustrating, it's annoying,
um, because it's just we're gonna repeat ourselves over and over again.
'Cause we're not going anywhere.
[Bean speaking]
-[Chelsea] You gonna write my name? -[Junior speaking]
Does he actually wanna make a complaint on me?
No, I think he wants me to see if I back down.
He's trying to get me off my game and get me flustered.
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
-He has my ID. -[Junior speaking]
-[Chelsea speaking] -[Cawiezell speaking]
-[Junior repeats] -[Cawiezell speaking]
-[Junior speaking] -You need to move.
[Junior speaking]
-[Bean speaking] -[Cawiezell speaking]
-[Chelsea speaking] -We're gonna need you to step out first.
I'm not doing that.
[Bean] There's a high possibility of these pitbull becoming aggressive.
So we're not gonna go in and grab him.
-[Junior speaking] -[Bean] Junior.
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking to radio]
[bleep]
[officer on radio]
[Cawiezell speaking]
The safest way to get him out of the car was to get extra police officers there.
[Bean speaking]
[Bean] Sergeant Parsons, who's coming onto the scene
He's a long time member and leader of the SWAT team
I worked with him on the SWAT team,
um, not only is he capable.
[chuckles] But he's gonna do what we need to do.
We know that Lieutenant Parsons, when he shows up
that it's gonna get done, it's gonna get done properly
-[Cawiezell speaking] -Okay?
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
-[Junior speaking] -Okay.
-[Cawiezell speaking] -[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
-Yeah. -[Cawiezell speaking]
[Parsons speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Chelsea speaking]
[Parsons speaking]
[Junior speaking]
-[Parsons speaking] -[Junior speaking]
[Parsons speaking]
-[Junior speaking] -Okay?
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Bean speaking]
-We know that you do not have a driver's license. -[Parsons speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Junior speaking]
[Junior] You're not, you're not holding nobody.
-[Junior] I wanna know this-- -[Bean speaking]
It's like a gun that shoots pava powder,
which is similar to pepper spray
but it's in a powder form.
[Junior speaking]
[Bean speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[narrator] More backup arrives on scene.
[Parsons speaking]
[Bean speaking]
-Ma'am. -[Parsons speaking]
[Parsons speaking]
[Bishop] And I walked up and they were pulling her out of the van.
They were still engaged with somebody else inside the van
and so I knew I needed to remove her
so she would not be a distraction for them.
-[Junior speaking] -[Parsons speaking]
-[Junior repeats] -[Parsons speaking]
[Junior] Just shoot me. No, shoot me.
[Parsons speaking]
[gunshots firing]
[Chelsea screaming]
[Cawiezell yelling]
[Chelsea screaming]
[Parsons yelling]
[Cawiezell speaking to radio]
[pepper ball shots firing]
[Bean] I hear shots.
And I know it's not the pepper ball.
Um, we know that that's the sound of a gunshot
going off inside the vehicle
and I can see muzzle flashes
I can see the flash of the gun he's shooting,
um, at all of us.
[Cawiezell] Sergeant Parson throws pepper ball.
I see the gentleman that's in the car
pull a gun out, point it at us and start shooting.
Immediately, I start shooting at him
and start to shoot through the passenger side window, into the backseat.
That's the first time on duty that I ever discharged my firearm.
I see Sergeant Parsons, and he is down.
I think he's been shot.
[Bean] It's a terrible feeli to know that,
uh, your fellow officer is shot and on the ground.
I can see into the car through the windshield
and I think I see him down.
I don't have a great view.
In that situation, there's a lot of people around.
You know, I was concerned about the people that were behind us around the store.
[gunshots firing]
-[Cawiezell yelling] -[bleep]
[Bean speaking]
It happened so fast.
My reaction was to get to cover.
And then take custody of the female.
So I got her handcuffed and put her in my cage.
I can see Mike, he is laying out in the midd of the parking lot.
I broke cover to go start to pull Mike back.
Officer Con Ericsson arrive and he is a medic.
Had him propped up and I start checking him, feeling down his leg.
[Parsons speaking]
I could see where the bullet hole was,
but there's no massive bleeding.
He might've had an internal bleed in his leg
but his leg wasn't swelling or anything.
I mean, he wasn't going into shock.
-[Parsons speaking] -[bleep]
I just felt like someone had hit me across
the top of the thigh with a baseball bat.
I don't know that shock's the right word.
I had been shot at more than once.
It was just different because this time, I was actually hit.
[Bean speaking]
-[Bean speaking] -[Parsons speaking]
[Parsons] I needed to get back in the game.
I'm trying to stay focused and on task
with trying to resolve this in the safest way.
For everyone involved.
[Parsons yelling]
[man speaking]
[Parsons continues yelling]
I was trying to put together a plan to try and...
take this person into custody.
I wanted some ballistic shields.
They're gonna provide protection from almost all your handgun rounds.
[Parsons speaking]
[bleep]
[Bishop] What?
[Parsons speaking]
He'll get by.
[Parsons speaking]
[Bean speaking]
I can see that he's, he's...
somewhat slumped over inside of the vehicle.
And you can see that the pistol, he's searching for that pistol with his han
[Bean speaking]
[Bean yelling]
[Cawiezell] We have a very strong suspicion he's been hit.
But until he is in custody, he is still a threat.
[Bean speaking]
[man] Hey, Adrian!
-[Bishop] Back in the car, back in the car! -Adrian!
We're not rushing in to pull a guy out,
um, so there's more pepper ball deployment.
[Bean repeats]
[Bean speaking]
[Parsons speaking]
[Bean speaking]
[Cawiezell speaking]
[Cawiezell] Once he is secur and he is no longer a threat
there is a duty that we have to render aid and help him.
He's been shot, too.
[Parsons] It hurts!
[Parsons] The adrenaline dump kinda came and it was just like...
Wow. It's not that it didn't hurt before,
but I had a mission.
I had a job, I had a role.
Now that it's over,
you know, reality sets in and so does the pain.
[Parsons speaking]
[medic] Where is he at?
[narrator] Medics can now treat Lieutenant Parsons' gunshot wound.
[medic] He's down.
[Ericsson] Myself and anothe medic help him get in the ambulance.
Cut through part of his pant leg where his injury was.
The coin that I had given him,
months earlier, fell out of his pocket.
It was obviously sitting in my pocket like this
and the bullet impacted the coin right here.
So, instead of going straight through my leg,
the coin caused the bullet to deflect
and basically go sideways through my leg instead of straight through
If that bullet had not hit that coin,
worst case scenario, I would have died in that parking lot that day.
I gave him my coin out of appreciation for always being there for me.
It was my Navy commissioning coin.
[narrator] John Terry Chatman Jr. survives.
He is convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition
And shooting with intent to kill.
He is not convicted of any traffic offenses.
Chatman is currently servin a 40 year prison sentence.
His choices led to where he's at,
which is a very lengthy prison sentence.
[narrator] Chelsea Morgerso is later convicted
of illegally supplying Chatman, a convicted person
with the firearm he used in the shooting.
She is sentenced to sixty days in jail.
[Bishop] He had a criminal history.
He wasn't allowed to have a gun,
but the female suspect purchased for him.
And I think that he just wasn't gonna go back to jail.
You know, I'm still... I'm still living,
I'm still breathing, I'm still going.
So, what does that mean for Tuesday?
Are you coming back?
[narrator] Lieutenant Parson and Officer Bishop aren't just fellow officers
Officer Danielle Bishop has been my wife for 26 years.
She's probably the best partner I've ever had at work.
[Parsons speaking]
[gunshots firing]
[Bishop] I saw Mike go down out of the corner of my eye
My priority should've been going right to Mike.
[chuckles] But I just...
The training and instinct, I just took cover.
[Parsons] It's a great feeli to have Danielle there.
She's a great police officer
She's my rock.
[Bishop] We're still working together
I don't feel like the fact that he got shot has impacted either one of us at work.
[Parsons] I was very proud, you know, to be part of that team
and I think that the officer that were there did a wonderful job.
And, you know, they put up with me as well,
so that's an accomplishment.
