- 0:03Speaker 2: I'm Sidney Silvanni. A massive multi agency manhunt has ended
- 0:08Speaker 2: in Independence, Missouri, where a body believed to be twenty
- 0:12Speaker 2: two year old Oscar Sanchez Munos was found by his family.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Sanchez Munos was the primary suspect in a deadly string
- 0:19Speaker 2: of highway shootings near the Kansas City World Cup venues.
- 0:23Speaker 2: The family found his remains in the basement of a
- 0:25Speaker 2: burned home that caught fire during an overnight police standoff
- 0:29Speaker 2: last week. They contacted police around two pm after clearing
- 0:33Speaker 2: debris and noticing a distinct odour. Investigators, Federal partners, and
- 0:38Speaker 2: canine units had repeatedly searched the property without success because
- 0:43Speaker 2: the basement partially collapsed, flooded, and was packed with clutter.
- 0:47Speaker 2: The discovery ends a hunt that began after Sanchez Munos
- 0:50Speaker 2: allegedly fired at vehicles along Interstate seventy near Arrowhead Stadium
- 0:55Speaker 2: during FIFA World Cup matches. The half dozen shootings left
- 0:59Speaker 2: one dead and several injured, including an uber driver transporting
- 1:03Speaker 2: soccer fans. The FBI had offered a twenty five thousand
- 1:07Speaker 2: dollars reward, warning he was armed and dangerous. Acting US
- 1:11Speaker 2: Attorney General Todd Blanche speculated the suspect was dead inside.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Clothing on the body matches what the shooter wore, and
- 1:19Speaker 2: a medical examiner will confirm the identity. Officials assure the
- 1:23Speaker 2: public there is no further threat. In Pennsylvania, authorities released
- 1:28Speaker 2: harrowing trial video of an armed man taking a two
- 1:31Speaker 2: year old girl hostage. A jury convicted Antonio Hammond of
- 1:35Speaker 2: kidnapping and firearm possession following an hour's long standoff inside
- 1:40Speaker 2: a Harrisburg home, as announced by the Dauphine County District
- 1:44Speaker 2: Attorney's Office. Footage from May thirtieth, twenty twenty three shows
- 1:48Speaker 2: the mother, Michelle Peters, recording Hammond as he held her
- 1:52Speaker 2: crying autistic daughter outside police ordered him to surrender. Hammond
- 1:57Speaker 2: told the frantic mother that police were trying to kill
- 2:00Speaker 2: him and to trust in God. I'm gonna kill me.
- 2:04Speaker 2: They want to kill me. I'm I got you. Just
- 2:09Speaker 2: please give me my because I love babies. I love
- 2:12Speaker 2: people to kill me, Okay, but do you think I
- 2:21Speaker 2: don't know you baby? When Hammond ordered Peters to keep
- 2:26Speaker 2: filming with her cell phone, she complied, you my baby,
- 2:32Speaker 2: I don't know that They can't. They can't. They can't
- 2:42Speaker 2: kill by you for no reason.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Camera, you can't reason.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Give me my baby. Following that exchange, Hammond shouted to
- 2:51Speaker 2: police outside that he did nothing, while Peters yelled back
- 2:55Speaker 2: that he had walked into her apartment and taken her
- 2:57Speaker 2: child hostage. The phone then dropped to the floor, leaving
- 3:01Speaker 2: the audio muffled. After the recording cuts out, details of
- 3:05Speaker 2: Hammond's past emerged. Hammond had absconded from parole months earlier.
- 3:10Speaker 2: That day, two probation officers spotted him wearing a mask.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Hammond fled, pointed a pistol at them from about six
- 3:17Speaker 2: feet away, and pulled the trigger. It only clicked because
- 3:21Speaker 2: there was no round in the chamber. Hammond then forced
- 3:24Speaker 2: his way into Peter's apartment, demanding she record him so
- 3:27Speaker 2: police wouldn't shoot. Peters eventually escaped with her infant, but
- 3:31Speaker 2: Hammond held the toddler hostage for nearly six hours. A
- 3:35Speaker 2: crisis response team breached the rear door, Hammond pointed his
- 3:39Speaker 2: pistol at them and pressed the muzzle against the toddler's face.
- 3:43Speaker 2: An officer forced the gun down and shot Hammond in
- 3:46Speaker 2: the face, saving the child. Hammond survived to face trial.
