The MRAP pulls up right as the male refuses to exit the vehicle.
The police have militarized in Houston, TX. There are snipers. With officers dimming the lights, volunteering to let the man keep his life, if he leaves the vehicle.
The other girl was a random civilian. Three young people have given themselves up. Now, just the hostage and the gunman.
The negotiator is pleading for the life of the female hostage.
The girl tries to leave the car, and the gunman holds her back. Again, the negotiator volunteers the opportunity to allow him to live if he releases the girl.
The sniper on the MRAP is ready and waiting.
“We cannot guarantee your safety if you cannot cooperate.”
