How Cops Captured The Minnesota Mass Shooter · The conspiracy

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's midnight at the Shady Oaks apartment complex. A resident
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: is walking back to his apartment when suddenly he's shot
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: by an unidentified manner.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Born.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: When police rush to the scene, they're immediately faced with
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a barrage of gunfire, targeting anyone who moves, and no
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: idea who or how many shooters are active, all while
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: dozens of innocent lives are at fatal risk right now,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: just called.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Out, What kind of injury do you have?
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: It's a gunshot?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, who shot you?
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get snipers put up on the east side. Yes,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: get over here, get over here.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: We can tell the drug now.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: At approximately two seventeen am on that Sunday night, officers
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: receive reports of gunshots near Shady Oaks apartment complex. Minutes later,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: around two twenty am, first responder officer Cody Needham approaches
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the scene to investigate. Little does he know the gunshot
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: reports were part of a trap set by the shooters
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and he was driving straight into it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I think I've been shot.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Moments after entering the parking lot, Officer need Him is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: struck by a bullet as multiple shots rang out, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: immediately radios nearby officers for backup.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I'm going to the hospital.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: This guy's let you or not.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: There was a rapid succession of shots. Do you know
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: where it came from?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: It's back by Shady Oaks.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: There were more shots back by Shady Oaks.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: Okay, we need to get a perimeter around this building.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Multiple units nearby are now en route to Shady Oaks. However,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the scale of police response will soon grow much larger
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: as officers realize the severity of the situation and the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: danger pose to the civilians. But for now, as backup
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: units head towards the scene, Officer need Him speeds towards
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the hospital, still uncertain how severe his injuries are.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: I shot, I don't know what the out.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Here we'll need him receives urgent medical care. Backup Officer
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Christopher Deson and other units make their way towards Shady Oaks,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: completely unaware they're stepping into a deadly eight hour long standoff.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: In rapidly chaotic incidents like these, officers have no choice
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but to make split second tactical decisions. To fully understand
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: how police manage such dangerous situations, We'll follow every tactic
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and decision through every stage of the standoff, starting with
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Officer Deson, who's just arrived on scene to a barrage
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of gunfire erupting unpredictably.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: We don't know what.
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: Up in front of the Belton.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Right now?
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: What you big shot at? Just all down, Calm down,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: I didn't know.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: I didn't.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Who is that your carnetah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Officer Deson and other responding officers quickly take position behind
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a water pump house located near the parking lot on
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the west side of the complex, But there's a more
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: immediate worry weighing on the officers. Many civilians remain unaware
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and exposed, and every gunshot could mean another innocent resident
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: being targeted. With dozens of innocent lives at stake. Officer
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Ris Musen and Tim Harves arrive near Deson's location on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the west side, positioning themselves nearby to help scan the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: area and pinpoint where the gunfire is coming from.
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: Sixty What has I got roll the corner out here?
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: Me in a decent pull up here? It was what
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: three four shots?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: And when I put up here before we got shot out.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: So somebody shooting out at the window of the building. Chris,
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: can you come over here?
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: They're shooting in any law enforcement comes through. If we
• 5:16
  Speaker 10: if we go out any further, we're gonna get caught.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: If this is an active shooter, we need to get
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: a team ready, We need to probably start dealing with it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: At this stage, the situation facing officers is extremely dangerous.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: The Shady Oaks apartment complex contains approximately one hundred and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: twenty six units, and with near zero visibility and gunshots
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: ringing out unpredictably, police have no way of pinpointing exactly
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: where the shooters are located, whether they're barricaded, mobile or
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: roaming freely, or even how many shooters are active. What's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: more alarming is that officers don't yet realize they're dealing
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: with a carefully planned ambush, and the next few minutes
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: will make that terrifyingly clear.
• 5:58
  Speaker 11: We want to get eyes on the we need to
• 6:01
  Speaker 11: get cars there, We need to get back over here.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Right, yeah, so we're gonna have to We're probably gonna
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: have to.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Where the fuck is this guy? He's close, he's outside
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: of that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Okay, he's running across you see him?
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: Where that way?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Ran that direction?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Somebody?
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you got shot at or what
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: the cloth has ran across.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: The back walk.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: He's running.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it was him or someone that
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: got shot at.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Correct they ran out here in that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: Direction, you know they're behind the trees here other side
• 6:59
  Speaker 10: of the trees is I think that's a high pod
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: rifle something high.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Calm down, Do not bowl me over.
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: Shot shot, it's coming from the front of the building
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: where it impact on the road.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I'm a little foreign.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: One of the shots officers just heard was aimed at
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a resident who stepped outside the building, completely unaware of
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the active threat. He was struck and immediately ran away.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: With danger escalating and officers still unsure how many shooters
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they're dealing with or even where the next shot might
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: come from, their immediate focus shifts to two critical priorities. First,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: identify and engage the source of the gunfire. Second, secure
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the perimeter and evacuate civilians inside and outside the building
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to prevent further casualties. However, officers still don't have a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: key to access the building from any side, adding a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: major complication to their plan. So to move forward, Officer
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Decon and Harve's formulate a tactical plan. One group remains
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in position carefully engaging and distracting the shooters to pinpoint
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: their exact locations and number. Meanwhile, a second group cautiously
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: moves around the perimeter, evacuating civilians from areas exposed to gunfire.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: It's important to understand that incidents like these are not
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: only traumatic for the officers working them, but they can
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: often have the same effect on people simply watching these
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: videos behind a screen, just like you. If you have
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: ever felt that you need help with mental health, you
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: should know there are always people you can reach out to.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Before I started this channel, I struggled with anxiety every day.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I'd record videos and delete them because I thought they
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: weren't good enough. Therapy changed that. It gave me the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: confidence to finally start uploading. Finding the right therapist, though,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: was hard. I went through several before one clicked. That's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: why I've partnered with Betterhealth, the sponsor of today's video.

  Speaker 1: off your first month of therapy. With that said, let's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: get back to the scene. The evacuation team is about
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to spread out and begin sweeping the west side of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the perimeter. With the shooter's identities still unknown, they have
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to treat everyone they encounter as a potential threat.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Come here, hey, come here. Do you have a keep
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: up of the building? Okay?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Are you okay? Yeah? Shooting?
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: You should need to out the se univers.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: I heard it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: You do it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Head your car. It's the second floor that you think it's.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: It's the second floor on the far side.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, go back to your car, staying there? Okay.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Off a service muse and manages to clear this first
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: encounter with a residence safely, but as he moves further
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: into the parking lot, he spots someone he believes might
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: be one of the shooters.
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: Stop right now, stop, turn around, drop to your knees.
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: I got a guy that just walked out. He's in
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: the parking lot. I got on my gun point. I
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: need somebody on here.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Stay where you're at right now. Okay, we've got somebody
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: shooting from your building right now.
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: Okay, okay, okay, thank him, go to him.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Stop.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, come here, come here, come here. It's police department.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Come here.
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: There's somebody shooting from your building right now. Okay, keep
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: your hands out of your pockets. Please go to that
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: red car over there.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: Go.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: The individuals turn out to be residents, completely unaware of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the danger they've just narrowly avoided, but Resmusin's attention quickly
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: shifts towards two more residents exiting from the back of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the building, one clearly injured and struggling.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Keith, you got up in the building. Okay, come on,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: come on.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Right here.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: No, I handed my foon off.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I have no way back.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Okay, Well you're not going back in anyway, So you're fine?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Are you hurt?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: It all?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Sir?
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: You're just the one Okay.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: I'm right here that might pull right there the light.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, what kind of injury do you have?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: It's a gunshot?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, who shot you?
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I come out that door.
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: We just came out of spacing that away and that's
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: when I got shot.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, come right over here, sir.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: Just hop right into the back seat on that side.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: One of the civilians encountered by police is Shady Oaks
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: resident Daniel Thorpe, the same person officers spotted running away
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: earlier after being targeted by gunfire. Daniel is now the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: second confirmed victim, following Officer Cody need Him. Unfortunately, they
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: won't be the only casualties as the night continues.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, get over here, get over here, the.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Run now.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: By now. Multiple SWAT teams have been requested to assist
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: with the situation, but Daniel's close call underscores just how
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: deadly the situation remains for the countless residents both inside
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and outside the complex. Many of them are still going
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: about their night, not even realizing they're in any danger. Thankfully,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Officer Rismusen gained crucial intel from the woman he encountered
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: outside the building. According to her, the shots appeared to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: originate from an apartment on the front side of the building,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: possibly on the second floor. But most importantly, she provides
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the officer with a key to access the building. With
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: dozens of innocent lives still at risk, police urgently need
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to devise a plan to infiltrate the building and evacuate
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: residents before the shooters have a chance to move positions,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: or worse, start targeting residents door to door. If the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: next steps aren't executed perfectly, the consequences could be catastrophic.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: With this in mind, Officer Tim Harves repositions to a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: parking lot near giant Washed Skyline Express just southeast of
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Shady Oaks to meet with command, await incoming SWAT teams
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and strategize their next move level.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: We haven't been able to get back in squad.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: They were thinking maybe like second floor, but now Chris
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: is saying there's moving on seventh.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: But there's movement all over.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: If you watch those windows, nobody's identified where or who.
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: Once I get more SWAB bodies in, I'm going to
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: start forming up some perimeter teams to take.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Over a perimeter. I'm going to get snipers put up
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: on the east side. Yes, yeah, so coming from the
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: front of the area.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: By this stage, police have gained important but conflicting information
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: about the shooters. Witnesses indicate activity on the second floor
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: at the front of the building, yet Officer Deson's group
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: has reported suspicious movement higher up, possibly as high as
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the seventh floor. With these conflicting reports, the situation remains
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: risky and unpredictable, so to gain some control, multi jurisdictional
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: SWAT teams are now en route to help secure the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: building's perimeter, deploy snipers, and infiltrate the complex to evacuate
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: civilians trapped inside. In the meantime, Officer Christopher Dieson and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: his group continue to hold a critical position at the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: west end, actively scanning the building to pinpoint how many
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: shooters they were dealing with and their locations.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Off fired.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Tutes yep correct correct.
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: Some are moving towards the that did hit across the
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: street right across the street from me. It sounded like
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: bird shop well.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Officer Decent's team continues to hold their position on the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: west side. A critical oversight is exposed in the perimeter setup.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Road closures intended to prevent civilian traffic from entering the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: active shooting zone weren't established. Quickly enough, allowing unaware drivers
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to slip through. This major flaw is about to lead
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to disaster risk consequences.
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: What howd you well? You don't, don't go out there.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: He Fortunately, this first vehicle manages to pass without getting hit,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: but just minutes later, officers spot another set of headlights approaching,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: heading directly into the line of fire.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Jaft fire after fire.
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: No, correct, maybe they're not in directly a vehicle coming
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: northbound on fourth.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Officers quickly realized the rapid succession of shots was not
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: directed at them, but at a civilian vehicle passing by
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the front of Shady Oaks. After being hit, the driver
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: continues forward, eventually stopping on the west side, still within
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the active firing zone, but close to where officers are positioned,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and that's when they hear the driver's disturbing screens.
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: Get over here, she has been hit.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: There.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: I don't, I don't come.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: You have.
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: I think it's just through and through. Friend, We can't
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: get up there right now. We cannot get up there
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: right now.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: The injured driver was struck in the leg and is
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: rapidly losing blood. Officers quickly apply a tourniquet to control
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the bleeding and stabilize him until he can be transported
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to the hospital. But before they can even catch their breath,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: another serious problem appears. Other residents and civilians continue to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: pass close to the active firing zone, oblivious to the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: lethal danger surrounding them. That's when Officer Decent spots something alarming.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Someone riding on a bicycle is suddenly seen riding straight
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: through the active firing zone, heading directly towards officers.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: The guy on a flight right now, you can stop
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: that guy on a bike.
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: Got here, get your hand, get over here, get over here,
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: Get down on the ground.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: Get down on the ground now, I am what's your
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: We got people shooting out of that building.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Guy.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Shit, we don't know if.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: It's you yet. No, No, we don't know that yet.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Oh we got a probe that right here.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: We're checking him.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I didn't you know? Gun cat? Are you kidding?
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: You? Guys stood the fuck out of me?
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: How do you think we feel?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Why didn't know?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Shoot each other's over there?
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Crawl over what's happening over there?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Over here?
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Okay, crawl crawl over here.
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: Come up by the building here where you're saying, all right,
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: put your hands down again.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: We just had somebody got shot out in the street
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: from here, you have anything on you?
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Can you take the bank to please.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: So you can look at You can search me if
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: you take the bags off. This bag just has a
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: hammer and some tool. Okay, it's not him, obviously out
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: stay down. Okay, what's obviously not him?
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, why don't you come up.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Here, sir?
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Come up by the building where you're saving.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, now you here what we're dealing with.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Thankfully, officers quickly determined the biker was not a threat,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: managing to pull him to safety before he was harmed.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Immediately afterwards, police units quickly finished establishing roadblocks around the complex,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: finally preventing further civilians from entering the danger zone. With
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: no targets in sight, the shooting abruptly stops. This brief
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: pause gives officers an opportunity to reassess their positions as
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: they wait for SWAT support, unaware of the violent escalation
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: just hours away.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: Do you think it's gone quiet because he just doesn't
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: have anything to shoot at.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, possibly.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: Keep them at a staging point, Keith. We have an
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: armored vehicle on seeing here. We'll be sending over.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I believe At approximately four am, SWAT armored vehicles finally
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: arrive on the opposite side of the building, marking a
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: critical turning point in the operation. For the first time,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: officers have the tactical support they need to close in
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and bring the shooters into custody.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got more.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Individual here, now return name, get them out of here.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Do you want to jump me with him? Yeah, all right,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: we'll come. Thanks for coming.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I know our team's setting up too, so we'll be
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: over here soon.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Not what we expected.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: With SWAT teams now on scene, a sniper unit quickly
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: moves into position on the east side of the Shady
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Oaks complex, giving officers critical visibility. At the same time,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: entry teams on the west side prepare for their next move.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: It's finally time to move inside the building.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: You're recovery. Get up there, go one at a time.
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: Okay, I'm gonna move right, yep, threeh six were by
• 22:38
  Speaker 11: the dumpster?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Where you were?
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: What's your twenty year?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: After carefully evacuating ground floor residents over the next two hours,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: SWAT teams successfully secure the lower levels, ensuring the shooters
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: have no path to escape. As the sun rises over
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Shady Oaks, police gain a critical advantage daylight. With improved visibility,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: they deploy drones overhead, giving officers a clear, real time
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: view of the complex. As the drone hovers above Shady Oaks,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: officers notice movement on the third floor, someone barricaded near
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a window in Apartment three h three. Sniper's position across
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the street quickly adjusts their aim towards the apartment, while
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: officers remain on high alert, knowing other suspects could be
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: hidden throughout the building. Over the next hour, tensions escalate
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: as the barricaded shooter fires and destroys a police drone
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: monitoring his position. At a round eight am, negotiation team's
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: attempt to make contact, urging the shooter to surrender peacefully,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: but despite repeated attempts, he refuses to respond. By ten am,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: after over eight hours of standoff and with peaceful options,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: exhausted and armored SWAT vehicle pulls off directly into the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: shooter's line of sight, preparing to launch enough tear gas
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: canisters to saturate the entire apartment. Moments after the gas
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: enters the apartment, the barricaded suspect moves to the window
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: for the first time. Officers see his face. It's a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: young man barely out of his teens, armed and ready
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: to fire back. Following the shooter's reaction, a single, carefully
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: aimed sniper shot shatters the apartment window, sending shards of
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: glass directly into the shooter's forehead. Moments later, he appears
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: from the window holding a towel to his face, clearly
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: weakened and disoriented. A swat team immediately rushes to apartment
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: three oh three to apprehend the shooter. Inside, they find
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: him wounded but cooperative, quickly placing him into custody and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: escorting him out of the building.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: Don't check them five minutes the change and left the
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: baggy bars.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: Checked down by his feet, nothing on his feet.
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: I am.
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: Hans pulled up?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: How my arm?
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Do you want to switch up?
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: You can give me an iou.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: The shooter is soon identified as Devin Matthew Wayland. Inside
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: his apartment, officers recover multiple fires, including the rifle used
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: throughout the standoff. Officers continue to search the complex and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: after a thorough sweep, they find no other threats, confirming
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Devon was the only shooter. As he has transported to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the hospital for medical treatment. Detectives begin rehashing details of
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the shooting. That's when they make a troubling discovery. The
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: initial nine one one call reporting fireworks had been placed
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: by Devon himself critish corner shutter fire was more. Investigators
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: quickly realized the call was a deliberate attempt to lure
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: responding officers directly into his line of fire. Given the
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: calculated nature of the ambush, they suspect that Devon may
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: not have acted alone, that he could be linked to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a larger threat, perhaps associated with an extremist group or
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a broader violent plan. With this in mind, detectives bring
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Devin straight into an interrogation room as soon as he
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: is medically cleared, urgently seeking answers about his true motives
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: and whether any additional attacks were placed.
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: Hey, dev all right, I've been better. Yeah it looks
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: like it. Okay, though, can you is that? Okay?
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: We visit?
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, okay.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Now let's back up to the day before the incident
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: and just talk to us about your day and kind
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: of what's going on.
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: Everything seemed to write, Everything seemed fine, Okay, these ex
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: friends of mine, they want to hang out with me,
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: and it was gonna be his girlfriend's birthday, twenty first birthday,
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: so they wanted to party and drink. Well, I am,
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: I do like the little cold still cushion. I like
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: to see people's use and ask them why they think
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: about second, respect them deeper, and.
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: Yep, okay, it just turns out that they're nextweakers.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: And I think one guy was tweaking there and this
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: guy's name was Seth something, and they're all like trying
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: to They're saying, I'm getting in their face and screaming
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: at the one personally death from working in machinery. I said,
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'll get down on my hands and knees.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: I'll show you and not being violent. And this woman
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: was saying, get out my man's face, and I'm like,
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: I'm not on your man's face.
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying, this is how I view up such
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: wish because how can I respect you. He'd been nothing
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: but nice to me is until this point on and
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: jud said his face, I said him, on your face.
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: He pushed me.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: He was trying to fight me, so I fought him,
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: and Jordan got on me and he tried fighting me,
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: and he claimed he was trying to make sure there
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: would be no fight to happen.
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: But that was the last straw, and for some.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: Reason, I felt like because no one would believe my
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: set the story. I had my firearms zone ready to
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: use just in case anything did happen, which I didn't
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: want it to. But I had an accident, all discharge
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: of my mOsm. I got rifle and I had one
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: bullet for it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: It was a mental set, but I haven't been employed
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: in a year, and my grandfather died three years ago.
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: I just wanted it, and I didn't want to ever
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: shoot a cop. That's why I surrendered. You were you
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: aiming at anything?
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Just the cars?
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Just the cars, trying to get the cops to come
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: so that i'd shoot me. I didn't want to shoot
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: the cops, don't want to shoot aybody else.
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: You want to shoo the cars so that they would
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: shoot me. But I couldn't. I couldn't. I couldn't myself.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: It's against my own views.
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: I would have to have somebody also theoretically, so that's
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: where that that idea. I know, it sounds really fucked up.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: I wanted to live. I tried telling myself this and that,
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: but under last night's situation or an ideal. It just
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: got too much to me too fast.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: So do you remember what exactly you told the dispatcher.
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: When you called it.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: Sound like there was a gun shot or fireworks or
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: some type of discharge, like some type.
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: Of fire shot. If you said the word fireworks, would
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: you mean fireworks for my gun? Or actually, I don't know.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: Did I say fireworks? Where you get?
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: I don't know if I did, Okay.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Perhaps the most striking thing about Devon's confession is his
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: description of feeling trapped between a desperate wish to die
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and an inability to harm himself, a psychological state commonly
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: known as I'd buy cop, where someone intentionally provokes law
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: enforcement into using deadly force to end their own life.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Following the interrogation and detectives to determined that Devon Wayland
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: acted alone, ruling out connections to any larger extremist groups,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Devon admitted to intentionally provoking police to respond with deadly force,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: driven by anger and humiliation after an earlier confrontation at
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a party. Thankfully, the three victims wounded in the shooting,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: including Officer Cody need Him, would ultimately recover from their
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: physical injuries. When Devon's case reached trial, Minnesota's Court of
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Appeals rejected the argument that his actions were solely driven
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: by vital intent. Although Devon claimed that provoking police into
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: shooting him was his primary goal, the court found his
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: broader actions of repeatedly firing at officers and civilians to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: clearly indicate a deliberate intention to kill or seriously injure others.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Devon's defense team argued that severe mental health issues were
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: primarily responsible for his violent rampage, but the jury was unconvinced,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: finding Devon guilty of three counts of first degree at
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: time tempted murder and three counts of second degree assault.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: He was sentenced to fifty years in prison.
