1
00:00:08,309 --> 00:00:11,944
[narrator] In California,
a gruesome call...
2
00:00:12,013 --> 00:00:15,914
[man speaking]
3
00:00:15,916 --> 00:00:18,617
[narrator] ...leads
to a deadly pursuit.
4
00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:20,285
[Recendez speaking]
5
00:00:20,287 --> 00:00:22,721
[Matthew] At that point,
I thought he was going
to drive by us
6
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:24,957
and just start
shooting rounds into our car
7
00:00:25,059 --> 00:00:27,226
[gunshots]
8
00:00:32,199 --> 00:00:33,832
[Gaskin speaking]
9
00:00:33,901 --> 00:00:36,402
I hear the chaos
of shots fired.
10
00:00:36,404 --> 00:00:37,603
[Gaskin speaking]
11
00:00:37,605 --> 00:00:39,438
[Jason] Officer down.
12
00:00:39,507 --> 00:00:43,942
[narrator] In Utah,
a late-night chase
takes a dangerous turn.
13
00:00:43,944 --> 00:00:45,044
[police sirens blaring]
14
00:00:45,046 --> 00:00:47,212
[Jeremy speaking]
15
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,316
[Jeremy] I have a rifle
in there.
16
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:58,157
And now this criminal
has access to it.
17
00:00:58,225 --> 00:01:02,961
[narrator] And in Illinois,
officers respond
to a burning building.
18
00:01:04,065 --> 00:01:05,631
[Lori speaking]
19
00:01:05,633 --> 00:01:09,401
The structure was occupied
and the first level
20
00:01:09,403 --> 00:01:12,805
was fully engulfed in flames.
21
00:01:12,807 --> 00:01:15,107
[Jacquie speaking]
22
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:16,308
[Tyler speaking]
23
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:17,810
[Jacquie speaking]
24

[Tyler speaking]
25
00:01:20,614 --> 00:01:23,916
[Tyler] If it hurt me
in the process, so be it.
26
00:01:25,486 --> 00:01:26,718
[dispatcher] Shots fired.
27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,220
[indistinct chatter]
28
00:01:28,222 --> 00:01:29,721
[police sirens blaring]
29
00:01:38,032 --> 00:01:40,999
[narrator] In California,
across the bay
30
00:01:41,001 --> 00:01:44,036
from San Francisco
is the city of Oakland.
31
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:49,641
[Matthew] Oakland as a whole
there's a lot
of violent crime.
32
00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:53,011
I heard people say,
"Oh, it's just part
of living in Oakland."
33
00:01:53,013 --> 00:01:55,747
There's a lot of shootings,
a lot of, a lot of violence.
34
00:01:55,849 --> 00:01:57,316
There's a lot of robberies.
35
00:01:57,318 --> 00:01:59,318
It's a difficult city
to work in.
36
00:02:05,826 --> 00:02:08,360
I am Ramona Brisker.
37
00:02:08,429 --> 00:02:11,163
I'm Tamisha Thomas's mother
38
00:02:11,232 --> 00:02:15,334
A friend of Tamisha called
and wanted her to come over
39
00:02:17,304 --> 00:02:20,606
[narrator] At the party,
Tamisha met a man she knew.
40
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:31,650
The next morning,
he left with Tamisha,
41
00:02:31,752 --> 00:02:33,652
supposedly
to go get some food.
42
00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:38,790
Maybe about 45 minutes later
the girlfriend that
43
00:02:38,792 --> 00:02:42,227
they had went and spent
the night at called me, um,
44
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:47,699
and said that the guy
had called and said
something went wrong.
45
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:50,602
She was screaming and crying
46
00:02:57,444 --> 00:02:59,611
[Ramona] I kept
calling her phone.
47
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:02,114
It kept going straight
to voicemail.
48
00:03:02,116 --> 00:03:04,616
My main thought was,
"Where is she?"
49
00:03:04,618 --> 00:03:06,718
That's all it was,
it was just,
"Where is my daughter?"
50
00:03:09,957 --> 00:03:14,159
I needed to call 911,
immediately.
51
00:03:17,431 --> 00:03:19,598
[Samuel] I got a call
from my mom.
52
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,035
She just said that she thinks
that somebody had did
something to my sister.
53
00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:28,307
So I just immediately went
and drove around looking
for my sister.
54
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:35,814
The police told us to go home
and that they were going
to do the searching.
55
00:03:35,816 --> 00:03:37,716
So we just sat and waited.
56
00:03:39,787 --> 00:03:42,321
Yeah, well,
just the horriblest
12 hours of waiting.
57
00:03:44,792 --> 00:03:48,961
[Samuel] It's the most anxio
and the longest period
of time ever.
58
00:03:50,064 --> 00:03:52,965
Something for surely
not right at this point.
59
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:03,542
[dispatcher speaking]
60
00:04:03,611 --> 00:04:06,612
[man speaking]
61
00:04:19,927 --> 00:04:24,229
[Jason] A cyclist had stumbl
on to someone that had a bod
62
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:27,733
wrapped up in a blanket
and had dumped
in the hills of Oakland.
63
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:31,803
In my gut, I could just feel
that he's witnessing
something pretty horrific.
64
00:04:31,805 --> 00:04:34,940
And we need to get officers
up there as quick as possibl
65
00:04:35,042 --> 00:04:37,609
[dispatcher speaking]
66
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:39,344
[man speaking]
67
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:41,246
[dispatcher speaking]
68
00:04:41,348 --> 00:04:44,316
[man speaking]
69
00:04:47,221 --> 00:04:49,521
I came on the radio
as a supervisor
70
00:04:49,523 --> 00:04:52,057
and direct my units
to get up there,
71
00:04:52,059 --> 00:04:54,059
authorized them
to respond Code 3,
72
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:56,561
which is red lights
and sirens.
73
00:04:56,663 --> 00:05:00,499
[Matthew]
Myself, Officer Recendez
and Officer Perry,
74
00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:03,001
were actually going out
to do a security check.
75
00:05:03,003 --> 00:05:05,304
So we decided
to attach ourselves
76
00:05:05,306 --> 00:05:07,005
to the call
to help out patrol.
77
00:05:08,042 --> 00:05:11,009
[dispatcher speaking]
78
00:05:11,011 --> 00:05:14,112
[man speaking]
79
00:05:14,114 --> 00:05:16,315
[dispatcher speaking]
80
00:05:16,317 --> 00:05:19,718
[Jason] Pinehurst Road
is a very remote area.
81
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,523
No homes, no nothing,
just trees and road.
82
00:05:24,525 --> 00:05:30,062
It's one of those, uh,
areas where body dumps
have happened in the past.
83
00:05:31,031 --> 00:05:33,298
The officers that
are responding,
84
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,500
they're going up Skyline
towards Pinehurst Road.
85
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:39,137
And at the time, the suspect
was coming down towards them
86
00:05:39,206 --> 00:05:41,239
as they're going up
towards the scene.
87
00:05:41,308 --> 00:05:43,809
[narrator] With other units
en route to the victim,
88
00:05:43,811 --> 00:05:46,511
Sergeant Andersen
instructs Officer Honn
89
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:49,314
and his colleagues
to pursue the suspect vehicl
90
00:05:51,218 --> 00:05:54,219
[Sarno speaking]
91
00:05:59,226 --> 00:06:03,028
[Matthew] We made a U-turn
taking off after the suspect
92
00:06:03,030 --> 00:06:05,964
So there was myself
and then three other
93
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:08,100
patrol cars
traveling up the hill.
94
00:06:08,102 --> 00:06:11,103
[Perry speaking]
95
00:06:20,748 --> 00:06:23,515
Besides the description
of him,
96
00:06:23,517 --> 00:06:25,217
we didn't know who he was,
97
00:06:25,219 --> 00:06:29,221
but there was no doubt
in my mind that
that was 100% the suspect.
98
00:06:29,223 --> 00:06:32,357
People who haven't done
anything wrong don't flee
from the police.
99
00:06:32,426 --> 00:06:34,326
[Perry speaking]
100
00:06:41,702 --> 00:06:44,536
[Jason speaking on radio]
101
00:06:44,638 --> 00:06:47,305
[Matthew speaking]
102
00:06:48,409 --> 00:06:49,708
[Perry speaking]
103
00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:52,043
In this instance,
we had a female
104
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:54,312
that was massively bleeding
from the head,
105
00:06:54,314 --> 00:06:57,716
from some sort of head trauma,
and that's when I came
on the radio and said,
106
00:06:57,718 --> 00:07:00,318
"We're gonna treat this
as an attempt murder."
107
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,221
Obviously,
the worse the crime,
108
00:07:03,223 --> 00:07:06,658
the more leeway
we're gonna get
with the pursuit.
109
00:07:06,727 --> 00:07:09,227
As in this case,
we're talking
attempted murder.
110
00:07:09,229 --> 00:07:13,832
So in my mind,
we need to catch
this individual.
111
00:07:15,135 --> 00:07:18,136
[Jason speaking on radio]
112
00:07:26,547 --> 00:07:29,548
[Gaskin speaking]
113
00:07:32,853 --> 00:07:35,854
[Jason speaking]
114
00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:43,462
[Jason] You do want
to catch this individual.
115
00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:46,064
He needs to be
held accountable for
116
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:49,100
what he's done
for the victim's family
and the victim.
117
00:07:50,604 --> 00:07:52,704
[narrator]
Once at the hospital,
118
00:07:52,706 --> 00:07:57,342
the victim is identified
as missing person
Tamisha Thomas.
119
00:07:58,445 --> 00:08:00,612
They said we found her.
120
00:08:00,614 --> 00:08:02,414
She's still alive.
121
00:08:02,416 --> 00:08:06,017
She's at a hospital
in Oakland.
122
00:08:06,019 --> 00:08:10,055
And that she had been shot
in the head.
123
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:12,057
We needed to go
to the hospital immediately
124
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:17,229
I was just scared and praying
the whole way there
125
00:08:17,231 --> 00:08:18,530
that she would be all right.
126
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:22,901
[Matthew] The update
about the victim,
127
00:08:22,903 --> 00:08:26,605
that cements what crime
that you actually have
128
00:08:26,607 --> 00:08:30,809
and the need to apprehend
the suspect is far greater.
129
00:08:30,811 --> 00:08:32,911
With something like
an attempted murder.
130
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:39,217
The pursuit came out
of the hills and got on
to the freeway.
131
00:08:41,054 --> 00:08:42,387
They're not stopping
for red lights,
132
00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:44,121
they're not stopping
for stop signs.
133
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:47,526
They're blowing through the
at whatever speed
they're traveling at.
134
00:08:50,831 --> 00:08:53,832
[Sarno speaking on radio]
135
00:09:00,007 --> 00:09:03,041
[Sarno speaking]
136
00:09:08,415 --> 00:09:10,715
[Matthew] The suspect,
he stuck his arm out
137
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:12,817
the window and actually
started waving...
138
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:17,756
I've never had somebody
kind of taunt me
during their pursuit.
139
00:09:17,857 --> 00:09:20,225
Usually people
are just trying to get away.
140
00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:23,862
[Perry speaking]
141
00:09:23,931 --> 00:09:24,996
[Recendez speaking]
142
00:09:24,998 --> 00:09:28,033
[Perry speaking]
143
00:09:31,038 --> 00:09:32,103
[Recendez speaking]
144
00:09:32,105 --> 00:09:35,140
[Perry speaking]
145
00:09:38,412 --> 00:09:43,448
[Matthew] Code 7 in Oakland
is a radio code for a weapon
146
00:09:43,517 --> 00:09:46,017
Things absolutely changed
in my mind.
147
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:47,318
It was...
148
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,221
went from we're chasing
a potential murder suspect
149
00:09:50,223 --> 00:09:54,960
to we're chasing somebody
who's likely going
to start shooting at us.
150
00:09:58,932 --> 00:09:59,998
[Recendez speaking]
151
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,099
[Perry speaking]
152
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:03,602
[Recendez speaking]
153
00:10:03,604 --> 00:10:05,804
I'm on the air saying,
"Back off.
154
00:10:05,806 --> 00:10:07,806
Let's give him
a little distance."
155
00:10:07,808 --> 00:10:12,544
You don't want them too close
to where he could get
a lucky shot off.
156
00:10:14,748 --> 00:10:17,515
[Jason speaking on radio]
157
00:10:21,722 --> 00:10:23,254
[Matthew speaking]
158
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:24,656
[Perry speaking]
159
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:27,025
[Jason speaking on radio]
160
00:10:27,027 --> 00:10:30,261
[Matthew speaking]
161
00:10:30,363 --> 00:10:32,631
I started playing scenarios
in my head that, "Okay,
162
00:10:32,633 --> 00:10:35,400
if he starts shooting at us
while we're driving,
163
00:10:35,402 --> 00:10:38,203
what are we going
to do if he stops,
164
00:10:38,205 --> 00:10:41,439
stops the car and jumps out
and starts shooting?"
165
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:43,642
[Sarno speaking]
166
00:10:45,212 --> 00:10:48,146
[Recendez speaking]
167
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:51,716
[Matthew] At that point
I thought he was going to
168
00:10:51,718 --> 00:10:54,452
drive by us and just start
shooting rounds into our car
169
00:10:56,289 --> 00:10:59,324
[Carlson speaking on radio]
170
00:11:00,327 --> 00:11:02,661
[Recendez speaking]
171
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:06,297
[Matthew] I accelerated
our car as hard as I could
172
00:11:06,299 --> 00:11:10,502
and have the amount of time
that we were parallel to him
as short as possible.
173
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:15,440
So if he were
to start shooting at us
that he would hopefully miss

00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,654
[Matthew]
If the helicopter's availabl
177
00:11:29,756 --> 00:11:31,356
you allow them to take over
178
00:11:31,458 --> 00:11:34,225
That way you can disengage
in the pursuit.
179
00:11:34,227 --> 00:11:38,430
When you get speeds 60,
70 miles an hour
on city streets,
180
00:11:38,432 --> 00:11:41,099
it lowers the risk
to the public significantly
181
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:45,503
So you let the helicopter,
what we call,
land the suspect.
182
00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:50,709
[officer speaking]
183
00:11:52,345 --> 00:11:53,912
[Perry speaking]
184
00:11:53,914 --> 00:11:57,015

[officer speaking]
189
00:12:29,816 --> 00:12:32,250
I pulled over to the side
of the road,
190
00:12:32,352 --> 00:12:35,520
not knowing
what he was going to do.
191
00:12:35,522 --> 00:12:41,025
He flipped a U-turn
and started driving back
towards our direction.
192
00:12:41,027 --> 00:12:45,230
So at that point,
I knew that it was going
to turn into a high-risk sto
193
00:12:47,701 --> 00:12:50,702
[officer speaking]
194
00:12:56,309 --> 00:12:57,742
[gunshots]
195
00:12:57,844 --> 00:12:59,511

196
00:13:01,414 --> 00:13:03,414
[officer speaking]
197
00:13:04,818 --> 00:13:08,753
I hear the chaos come on
the air of shots fired.
198
00:13:08,822 --> 00:13:10,121
Officer down.
199
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:12,724
You're trying to get
that information over the ai
200
00:13:12,726 --> 00:13:14,025
Who's down?
201
00:13:14,027 --> 00:13:16,628
Was he shot?
How was he injured?
202
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:19,731
The officer had been hit
by the suspect vehicle.
203
00:13:19,733 --> 00:13:24,102
I can only imagine
the injuries he sustained
from being hit by that car.
204
00:13:24,104 --> 00:13:30,208
In my mind,
I was preparing myself
for the worst because I...
205
00:13:30,210 --> 00:13:34,512
I had a gut feeling
that this might not end
the way we hope it end.
206
00:13:41,254 --> 00:13:42,320
[gunshots]
207
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:44,856
At that moment,
everything kind of just
208
00:13:44,958 --> 00:13:49,627
slowed down
and it was a very strange,
it was almost slow motion.
209
00:13:49,629 --> 00:13:52,330
It's kind of like something
you see in a movie, really.
210
00:13:57,204 --> 00:13:59,637
[gunshots]
211
00:14:01,141 --> 00:14:03,508

00:14:11,718 --> 00:14:13,818
[gunshots continue]
215
00:14:29,402 --> 00:14:31,236
Everything happened
really quick.
216
00:14:31,304 --> 00:14:34,739
I remember thinking to myself,
"Are you really shooting
this slow?"
217
00:14:34,841 --> 00:14:37,342
When in all reality,
I wasn't shooting slow.
218
00:14:39,012 --> 00:14:41,412
[Gaskin speaking]
219
00:14:41,414 --> 00:14:44,249
[Jason] They're making
split-second decisions.
220
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:46,417
No split seconds,
if you hesitate,
221
00:14:46,419 --> 00:14:49,954
could mean that you get
seriously injured or killed.
222
00:14:52,058 --> 00:14:53,925
[Sarno speaking]
223
00:14:57,898 --> 00:15:02,934
I think chaos is a good word
to describe, you know,
what was unfolding.
224
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:11,943
[Matthew] I can see that
Officer Perry
225
00:15:12,012 --> 00:15:15,813
was actually down
on the ground right
in front of the suspect.
226
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:19,550
I can see the suspect
still moving around
inside the van.
227
00:15:19,619 --> 00:15:24,555
I knew that he had to be
pulled out from in front
of the van.
228
00:15:25,592 --> 00:15:27,725
No matter what the cost.
229
00:15:27,727 --> 00:15:31,029
I didn't think about myself
or really care about myself
at that point.
230
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:35,199
[police sirens blaring]
231
00:15:37,637 --> 00:15:39,037
[Recendez speaking]
232
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:41,306
[Gaskin speaking]
233
00:15:41,308 --> 00:15:43,508
[Recendez speaking]
234
00:15:43,510 --> 00:15:46,444
[Gaskin speaking]
235
00:15:51,017 --> 00:15:52,951
[Recendez speaking]
236
00:15:52,953 --> 00:15:54,419
[Gaskin speaking]
237
00:15:54,421 --> 00:15:55,653
[Recendez speaking]
238
00:15:57,557 --> 00:16:00,959
[Gaskin speaking]
239
00:16:00,961 --> 00:16:02,327
[Perry speaking]
240
00:16:02,329 --> 00:16:05,129
[Gaskin speaking]
241
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,800
We did what's called...
242
00:16:08,802 --> 00:16:11,402
what we call "throw and go."
243
00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:16,240
Basically, you put the offic
in the back of the car
and it's a lot faster for u
244
00:16:16,242 --> 00:16:20,445
to put somebody in the back
of the patrol car
245
00:16:20,546 --> 00:16:23,848
and, you know,
drive Code 3 with lights
246
00:16:23,917 --> 00:16:27,151
and sirens to the hospital
versus waiting
for an ambulance.
247
00:16:27,253 --> 00:16:30,755
[Gaskin speaking]
248
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:42,233
And the biggest weight
on a supervisor's shoulder
249
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:44,335
is making sure that
they're going home
250
00:16:44,437 --> 00:16:46,304
at the end of the night
to their loved ones.
251
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:51,609
And when someone gets hurt,
it's very difficult on you.
252
00:16:51,611 --> 00:16:52,710
[Gaskin speaking]
253
00:16:55,448 --> 00:16:57,048
[Perry groaning]
254
00:17:07,127 --> 00:17:10,028
[narrator] The suspect,
Juan Ayon-Barraza,
255
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:11,929
is pronounced dead
at the scene.
256
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:18,403
He had a history of arrests
relating to alleged violenc
against women.
257
00:17:19,806 --> 00:17:24,042
His motive
for shooting Tamisha
was never discovered.
258
00:17:24,044 --> 00:17:26,411
[Ramona] They told us
we found him.
259
00:17:27,447 --> 00:17:29,981
He was shot and killed
by the police.
260
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:31,248
I didn't know him.
261
00:17:31,317 --> 00:17:35,453
Met him maybe once,
seen him a couple of times.
262
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:37,221
He was just around.
263
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:41,626
Never would have wanted
to imagine anything like this
happening in my life.
264
00:17:44,631 --> 00:17:46,030
[narrator]
In the same hospital
265
00:17:46,032 --> 00:17:50,701
as Tamisha, Officer Perry
also fights for his life.
266
00:17:50,703 --> 00:17:55,339
He suffered several
broken bones in his legs
and hips in the crash.
267
00:17:55,441 --> 00:17:59,811
He's badly injured,
but doctors save his life.
268
00:17:59,813 --> 00:18:03,247
That was a big weight off
my shoulders to hear that
he was conscious,
269
00:18:03,349 --> 00:18:05,917
breathing and at the hospital
being treated.
270
00:18:07,053 --> 00:18:10,088
It took him a long time
to recover.
271
00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:13,324
He ended up medically retiring
due to his injuries.
272
00:18:15,728 --> 00:18:18,463
You know, a lot of times,
you can go an entire career
273
00:18:18,531 --> 00:18:21,899
and not have to be involved
in anything like this.
274
00:18:24,237 --> 00:18:26,904
I wouldn't say it changed
the way that I do things.
275
00:18:26,906 --> 00:18:31,709
I just take that experience
that I had and, um, you know,
276
00:18:31,711 --> 00:18:35,246
build upon that
and better myself.
277
00:18:35,348 --> 00:18:40,618
Everybody who was involved
in the incident really showe
278
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:42,787
a tremendous amount
of bravery.
279
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:44,722
They're all amazing officers
280
00:18:51,498 --> 00:18:54,432
[Samuel] We were all
at the hospital every day
that she was there.
281
00:18:55,602 --> 00:18:58,636
It was a silence in the air.
282
00:18:58,738 --> 00:19:02,039
I think everybody was just
in their head praying
and hoping for the best.
283
00:19:15,922 --> 00:19:18,222
It's kind of like
you're in a bad dream,
and you just...
284
00:19:18,224 --> 00:19:20,625
you ain't waking up.
285
00:19:20,627 --> 00:19:24,295
She did something to make
everybody laugh around her.
286
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:26,264
If you was sad,
she made you feel better.
287
00:19:27,433 --> 00:19:29,534
She... everybody thinks
they're her best friend
288
00:19:29,602 --> 00:19:31,035
because that's how
she made you feel.
289
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:34,138
Everything.
290
00:19:36,943 --> 00:19:38,709
[Ramona] Definitely
the worst nightmare
291
00:19:38,711 --> 00:19:43,714
you can ever come across
in your life to lose a child
in that way.
292
00:19:43,716 --> 00:19:45,816
Just never...
never going to get over that.
293
00:19:45,818 --> 00:19:49,954
But I have, I have,
I have her.
294
00:19:51,558 --> 00:19:52,924
Every day.
295
00:19:52,926 --> 00:19:54,825
And I have her son, so.
296
00:19:59,032 --> 00:20:02,300
I just gotta keep going
and make sure he's okay.
297
00:20:05,205 --> 00:20:08,306
She was the light
in our family.
298
00:20:08,308 --> 00:20:12,710
So there's just a part of us
where that light is out.
299
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:25,089
[narrator] In Utah,
16 miles south
of Salt Lake City,
300
00:20:25,091 --> 00:20:27,425
lies the town
of Cottonwood Heights.
301
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:30,861
[Adam] We have a lot
of property crime,
302
00:20:30,963 --> 00:20:34,198
a lot of vehicle burglaries,
people breaking into cars.
303
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,501
But I wouldn't say a lot
of violent crimes happen.
304
00:20:38,705 --> 00:20:41,005
Very friendly neighborhoods.
305
00:20:41,007 --> 00:20:42,707
A good place
to raise your family.
306
00:20:43,943 --> 00:20:45,710
[police sirens blaring]
307
00:20:47,614 --> 00:20:49,213
[narrator]
Just after midnight,
308
00:20:49,215 --> 00:20:53,050
law enforcement spots an
out-of-control motorcyclist
309
00:20:53,052 --> 00:20:56,053
[officer speaking on radio]
310
00:21:12,138 --> 00:21:14,705
[Jeremy] The suspect
was failing to stop
311
00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:16,440
for the officer
at Cottonwood Heights.
312
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:20,611
[officer speaking on radio]
313
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:30,554
[Jeremy speaking on radio]
314
00:21:34,394 --> 00:21:36,327
Cottonwood Heights
said that they lost visual
315
00:21:36,329 --> 00:21:40,431
of the motorcycle
as they had entered
the Draper city limits.
316

[Jeremy speaking]
317
00:21:46,339 --> 00:21:49,507
[Jeremy] He crashed
the motorcycle into a car.
318

[Jeremy speaking]
319
00:21:56,716 --> 00:21:59,016
[Jeremy] At that point,
he threw a backpack at me.

[dispatcher speaking]
324
00:22:37,824 --> 00:22:42,259
Once I catch this guy,
what's next?
325
00:22:42,328 --> 00:22:45,029
Is it a knife fight?
Is it a gun fight?
Is it a fist fight?
326
00:22:45,031 --> 00:22:46,263
[Jeremy] Copy?
327
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:49,300
[dispatcher] Copy.
328

[Jeremy speaking]
331
00:23:32,311 --> 00:23:35,246
[Jeremy] I became
physically ill to my stomach
332
00:23:35,314 --> 00:23:39,850
I have a rifle in there
with a large amount
of ammunition,
333
00:23:39,952 --> 00:23:44,221
a less-lethal shotgun,
a Glock handgun.
334
00:23:44,223 --> 00:23:49,026
And now this criminal
has access to all of these.
335

The only thing I could do
is listen to it

[Adam speaking]
342
00:24:24,697 --> 00:24:29,700
[Adam] I observed
the police car
with the lights on.
343
00:24:29,702 --> 00:24:32,403
And so I turned around
and started to...
344
00:24:32,405 --> 00:24:35,706
to chase this individual
who had just stolen
the police car.
345

00:24:45,351 --> 00:24:47,318
[officer 1 speaking on radio]
347
00:24:51,424 --> 00:24:55,426
[Adam] It occurred to me tha
the suspect was listening
into our radio traffic.
348
00:24:55,428 --> 00:24:58,229
[Adam speaking]
349
00:24:58,231 --> 00:25:00,064
[officer 1 speaking on radio]
350
00:25:00,066 --> 00:25:02,933
So I advised officers
to switch to regional
351
00:25:02,935 --> 00:25:05,936
so that we could communicat
with each other
without the suspect knowing
352
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:09,707
[officer 2 speaking on radio]
353
00:25:09,709 --> 00:25:11,809
[Adam] Other officers at thi
time were in the process
354
00:25:11,811 --> 00:25:13,344
of trying to stop him as wel
355
00:25:13,412 --> 00:25:16,046
[police sirens blaring]
356
00:25:20,052 --> 00:25:22,953
[Eric speaking]
357
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:26,023
[Eric] This is
the fastest police pursuit
358
00:25:26,025 --> 00:25:27,657
that I've ever been in.
359
00:25:27,659 --> 00:25:33,430
The suspect was going
approximately 120 miles
an hour down that road.
360
00:25:39,939 --> 00:25:42,606
I actually spotted
the vehicle fleeing
361
00:25:42,608 --> 00:25:45,709
from the other officers,
coming directly at my vehicle.
362
00:25:45,711 --> 00:25:47,111
[Colby speaking]
363
00:25:48,814 --> 00:25:51,815
And I had to quickly
turn out of the way.
364
00:25:55,454 --> 00:25:57,922
[Colby speaking]
365
00:26:01,327 --> 00:26:04,228
[Eric speaking]
366
00:26:06,265 --> 00:26:09,233
[Colby speaking on radio]
367
00:26:15,274 --> 00:26:18,242
[officer 2 speaking on radio]
368
00:26:18,344 --> 00:26:20,945
[Eric] An off-duty detectiv
heard on the radio
369
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:22,713
that the pursuit was coming
370
00:26:24,216 --> 00:26:25,950
He got the spikes
set up for us.
371
00:26:27,219 --> 00:26:30,220
[officer 2 speaking on radio]
372
00:26:32,358 --> 00:26:35,960
[narrator] The officer gets
a perfect hit
on one of the tires.
373
00:26:35,995 --> 00:26:38,729
[Colby] Because one
of his tires began to flatte
374
00:26:38,731 --> 00:26:42,399
he started to lose control
and exited
into a neighborhood.
375
00:26:49,942 --> 00:26:51,709
[Colby speaking on radio]
376
00:26:58,317 --> 00:27:00,217
[Colby] The vehicle crashed
into a mailbox.
377
00:27:01,253 --> 00:27:03,120
[Eric] I knew
he's going to run.
378
00:27:03,122 --> 00:27:08,125
And so I remember getting
ready for whatever's going
to happen next.
379
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:16,400
I could hear on the radio,
one of my very good friends,
380
00:27:16,402 --> 00:27:20,404
Officer Ewell,
was the lead pursuing office
381
00:27:23,809 --> 00:27:26,510
I didn't know
how I would explain
382
00:27:26,512 --> 00:27:31,115
to his wife
if something happened to him
383
00:27:31,117 --> 00:27:34,618
and that I was part
to blame in this.
384
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:40,157
And that was
one of the worst feelings
385
00:27:40,226 --> 00:27:41,492
that I've ever felt.
386
00:27:41,494 --> 00:27:43,861

[Jeremy speaking]
395
00:28:20,132 --> 00:28:22,099
The relief made me ill.
396
00:28:22,101 --> 00:28:23,734
I ended up vomiting
on the road.
397
00:28:29,775 --> 00:28:32,409
[Eric speaking]
398
00:28:34,613 --> 00:28:38,515
We're able to figure out,
his name is Kent Cody Barlow
399
00:28:38,517 --> 00:28:42,052
who was already on the run
from law enforcement,
400
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:45,956
had warrants for his arrest
and he was out on parole.

[Colby speaking]
403
00:28:59,538 --> 00:29:01,438
[Jeremy] Dispatch confirmed
over the radio
404
00:29:01,507 --> 00:29:04,608
that the vehicle indeed
was a stolen motorcycle.
405
00:29:06,846 --> 00:29:08,312
I searched the backpack.
406
00:29:09,615 --> 00:29:11,014
I found drugs in it.
407
00:29:12,051 --> 00:29:15,953
I found burglary tools.
408
00:29:15,955 --> 00:29:18,956
I found a lot of property
that appeared to be stolen.
409
00:29:21,827 --> 00:29:25,329
[narrator] Kent Cody Barlow
is convicted
of multiple offenses,
410
00:29:25,331 --> 00:29:28,532
including failure
to stop and theft.
411
00:29:28,601 --> 00:29:32,202
He is sentenced to a maximu
of 15 years in jail.
412
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,508
I didn't even know
how to process
what had happened.
413
00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:40,944
And just the relief
that it had ended
414
00:29:40,946 --> 00:29:43,213
and it had ended
the right way.
415
00:29:44,517 --> 00:29:46,316

[narrator]
In Northern Illinois,
417
00:29:53,726 --> 00:29:58,629
on the western edge
of Chicago's suburbs lies
the village of Montgomery.

[police sirens blaring]
425
00:30:23,455 --> 00:30:27,658
When dispatch received
a 911 call
for a structure fire,
426
00:30:27,726 --> 00:30:29,560
we weren't far away
from there,
427
00:30:29,628 --> 00:30:32,129
so we responded
to offer our assistance.
428
00:30:34,133 --> 00:30:36,200
This call was urgent
because dispatch
429
00:30:36,202 --> 00:30:38,435
was telling us
that the structure
430
00:30:38,504 --> 00:30:43,207
was occupied
and the first level
was fully engulfed in flames.
431
00:30:45,044 --> 00:30:48,512
As a sheriff's deputy,
I was trying to think
of a game plan
432
00:30:48,514 --> 00:30:51,849
of how to assist
the fire department
433
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:54,518

[Samuel Markusic speaking]
445
00:32:19,905 --> 00:32:21,705
[Tyler] We heard
over the radio that
446
00:32:21,707 --> 00:32:24,408
they were unable to make ent
due to the smoke
447
00:32:24,410 --> 00:32:26,143
and the flames
of the first storey.
448
00:32:26,211 --> 00:32:28,145
And kind of was
thinking in my mind
449
00:32:28,213 --> 00:32:31,715
was if there was
another entrance
in the back of the building.
450
00:32:40,859 --> 00:32:43,327
When I arrived, I noticed
that the Montgomery
451
00:32:43,329 --> 00:32:47,531
Police Department was alread
on scene and a fire engine
452
00:32:47,533 --> 00:32:49,299
from the Oswego
Fire Department.

[Tyler speaking]
454
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:55,539
[Tyler] And my partner,
Deputy Markusic,
455
00:32:55,607 --> 00:32:59,242
had his vehicle right there,
and I knew that
456
00:32:59,311 --> 00:33:02,312
there was going to be
a lot of fire
apparatus coming.
457
00:33:02,314 --> 00:33:05,382
And I knew our vehicles
were going to be
in a way of that.
458
00:33:05,384 --> 00:33:07,451
[Tyler speaking]
459
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,955
[Tyler] I thought it would be
a good idea to also move
mine just in case.

[Tyler] I was going back
to my patrol vehicle
480
00:34:31,703 --> 00:34:33,937
when I could hear
a faint scream...
481
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:35,639
[Lori speaking]
482
00:34:35,707 --> 00:34:38,241
[Tyler] ...and that's when m
and Deputy Mielke
483
00:34:38,343 --> 00:34:41,945
started running towards
the back of the residence.
484
00:34:42,047 --> 00:34:46,616
We knew that they were
in trouble and they really
needed our help.
485
00:34:52,057 --> 00:34:54,491
As I rounded the little fenc
486
00:34:54,493 --> 00:34:58,361
I can see the entire
first floor that was engulfe
in flames.
487
00:35:00,132 --> 00:35:03,100
The intensity of the heat
was overwhelming.
488
00:35:03,102 --> 00:35:06,103
And I can feel
the hairs on my...
489
00:35:06,105 --> 00:35:08,205
my arm starting
to frizz a little bit.
490
00:35:10,809 --> 00:35:13,610
I looked up and I saw
a second-storey window
491
00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:15,946
that also had smoke
pouring out.
492
00:35:16,014 --> 00:35:18,448
And there was two individuals
trapped up there.
493
00:35:20,552 --> 00:35:24,621
And I was looking for a tabl
or some chairs,
494
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:28,425
anything that could get me
up there a little bit
closer to them.
495
00:35:30,963 --> 00:35:33,263
At that point,
the individuals had dropped
496
00:35:33,332 --> 00:35:35,332
their dog out of the window
497
00:35:39,104 --> 00:35:41,505
They knew
that they were out of time.
498
00:35:42,808 --> 00:35:46,409
And then I saw
the first female
499
00:35:46,411 --> 00:35:48,311
start to jump
out of the window.
500
00:35:49,615 --> 00:35:51,948
I knew that I wouldn't be
able to catch her,
501
00:35:52,017 --> 00:35:54,017
but I attempted anyway.
502
00:35:54,019 --> 00:35:56,520
If it hurt me in the process
so be it.
503
00:36:04,830 --> 00:36:08,198
She actually hit
my face first,
ripping my glasses off,
504
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,002
and then her entire body
bounced from my chest.
505
00:36:13,739 --> 00:36:16,606
My body camera
had became dislodged
506
00:36:16,608 --> 00:36:19,409
and had fallen somewhere
within the rubble of the fire.
507
00:36:22,748 --> 00:36:25,448
The second individual
had jumped
508
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:28,451
on the snow-covered ground
and a bush.
509
00:36:35,227 --> 00:36:36,993
[Samuel Markusic] I started
running towards the back
510
00:36:36,995 --> 00:36:38,962
of the house once I heard
Deputy Giannotti
511
00:36:39,031 --> 00:36:41,231
and Deputy Mielke
yelling on the radio.
512
00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:46,303

[Jacquie] Okay.
516
00:36:50,342 --> 00:36:51,942
[Samuel Markusic] It looked
like they had already
517
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:53,810
gotten the occupants out
of the house at that point.

[Samuel Markusic speaking]

00:37:23,208 --> 00:37:24,507
[Tyler speaking]
526
00:37:24,509 --> 00:37:26,243
[Samuel Markusic speaking]
527
00:37:33,151 --> 00:37:34,818

[Connie speaking]
535
00:37:49,601 --> 00:37:52,235
[Samuel Markusic speaking]
536
00:37:52,304 --> 00:37:55,605
I was pleased to see
both of those occupants
537
00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:57,040
walk away from that scene.
538
00:37:58,310 --> 00:38:01,344
I mean, they had
a lot of courage that day.
539
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:02,946
They probably
felt safe knowing
540
00:38:03,048 --> 00:38:05,415
that they both still had
each other and their dog.
541
00:38:08,053 --> 00:38:09,219
[Lori speaking]
542
00:38:10,622 --> 00:38:12,222
[Samuel Markusic speaking]
543
00:38:22,601 --> 00:38:24,200
[Connie speaking]
544
00:38:24,202 --> 00:38:25,702
[Samuel Markusic speaking]
545
00:38:25,704 --> 00:38:28,104
[Connie speaking]
546
00:38:28,106 --> 00:38:30,106
[Samuel Markusic speaking]
547
00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:40,050
[paramedic speaking]
548
00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:42,519
[Samuel Markusic speaking]
549
00:38:46,858 --> 00:38:48,558
[Jacquie] Once paramedics
evaluated,
550
00:38:48,627 --> 00:38:50,960
they were transported
to area hospital.
551
00:38:58,503 --> 00:39:01,805
[Connie] January 31st of 202
552
00:39:01,807 --> 00:39:05,041
I remember hearing
glass breaking.
553
00:39:06,345 --> 00:39:09,946
I thought that someone
was breaking in,
554
00:39:09,948 --> 00:39:12,949
and by the time I got up
and I made it to the doorway
555
00:39:12,951 --> 00:39:15,218
of the room,
all I see is just smoke.
556
00:39:17,723 --> 00:39:22,459
So I ran downstairs
and there was just
a fire in the kitchen.
557
00:39:23,662 --> 00:39:27,630
I remember screaming,
"Call 911, call 911."
558
00:39:28,934 --> 00:39:33,002
I was asleep,
so I could not understand
559
00:39:33,004 --> 00:39:35,205
why she's screaming call 911.
560
00:39:37,642 --> 00:39:40,710
And then she said, "Fire."
561
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:44,347
So I immediately picked up
the phone and called 911.
562
00:39:44,416 --> 00:39:48,718
[Connie] I was barefoot,
trying to put the fire out
with water.
563
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,154
It was getting
worse and hotter.
564
00:39:51,223 --> 00:39:55,358
And so I remember
running upstairs.
565
00:39:55,460 --> 00:39:59,028
[Lori] I could see the smok
coming in the room faster
and faster and faster.
566
00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:00,864
And that's when Connie ran up.
567
00:40:02,701 --> 00:40:07,604
I remember seeing
a lot of fire trucks and cop
568
00:40:07,606 --> 00:40:11,441
but I remember nobody
really coming the back way.
569
00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:14,611
And I kept screaming back,
"Back here!
570
00:40:14,613 --> 00:40:18,114
Help! Help!
Help, help! It's so hot."
571
00:40:19,818 --> 00:40:22,919
So finally,
I see this police officer.
572
00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:26,923
And I just remember throwin
Liam out the window first,
573
00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:30,059
and then all I remember
was going down.
574
00:40:36,835 --> 00:40:42,605
But then when I turned,
I see Connie falling
and she just hit hard.
575
00:40:49,147 --> 00:40:52,315
[Lori] Everything you have
worked your whole life for,
576
00:40:52,317 --> 00:40:55,518
in an instant, it's gone.
577
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,554
But we still have our lives.
578
00:40:57,655 --> 00:41:00,957
So that's the gratitude
that we have.
579
00:41:02,561 --> 00:41:05,361
[Connie] It's been
eight months since the fire
580
00:41:05,430 --> 00:41:07,063
I'm still suffering.
581
00:41:07,131 --> 00:41:09,032
I've been doing
physical therapy.
582
00:41:10,702 --> 00:41:14,938
[Lori] We know that
it's never going to be
how it was prior to the fire
583
00:41:15,006 --> 00:41:19,809
but we are hopeful
that we can keep rising.
584
00:41:23,315 --> 00:41:28,818
To the officers
that were there
that night, thank you.
585
00:41:28,820 --> 00:41:31,254
I will forever be grateful
for those officers
586
00:41:31,289 --> 00:41:34,958
and for all the nurses
that treated Lori and I.
587
00:41:37,729 --> 00:41:39,896
[Tyler] Deputy Mielke
and Markusic and myself
588
00:41:39,898 --> 00:41:42,465
were presented
a Lifesaving Award
589
00:41:42,501 --> 00:41:46,102
for the actions
that took place on that night.
590
00:41:46,104 --> 00:41:48,371
It was a good feeling,
even though we're not lookin
591
00:41:48,373 --> 00:41:52,041
for recognition or rewards
or anything.
592
00:41:52,110 --> 00:41:56,145
We just wanted to help them
and we completed our objective
593
00:41:56,247 --> 00:42:00,216
and they're here today
and that's the only reward
that we needed.
