We don't have to, but that's a call I should roll to. I happen to be close enough to where the two offices – so it's one of those apartment communities where it's one floor, two floors, and then there's a top floor, and then there's an apartment all the way down here. So the officers – I pull in the parking lot, and I see my officers walking to the door.

Then all of a sudden, I see the door open, and the officers pull out their gun and fall back to try to get away from whatever was going on at the door. And I hear them on the radio, 413, subject has a 413. So the subject came to the door with his arm around the female and the firearm to the female. I have my car in the parking lot. Wow. Then obviously code red. That means only emergency traffic.

All the officers come. We get to the we get into the front of my car and I have a dry race and I'm on the hood of my car pointing out where I want my officers to go and how we're going to deal with the situation. One of my officers at the time, really sharp guy. He says, hey, Sarge, I got my rifle in case he comes out.

Let me go over to this pizzeria right here and I can engage him if he comes out with the gun. Great lesson. If one of your subordinates has a great idea, be very quick to listen and learn from them because it was a great idea because the second he gets over there, Chevalier comes out and starts shooting at us.

We all go down, my guy engages Chevalier at the door and he hits the doorframe and all this wood and everything hits Chevalier and Chevalier goes back inside the house. I'm like, I gotta call in. There was no time, no negotiators had not been around, nothing. So I said, if I call him, he's not gonna be shooting, he's not gonna be hurting anyone.

So I get in and I start having a conversation with Chevalier and we develop a rapport. Interestingly, I was able to record a segment of this conversation We'll play the conversation, and then I will tell you the nuances of the conversation that occurred, the aftermath of it, and how deep negotiations can be. Okay, cool.

Okay, so let me give you some background on this, okay? I still get really amped just listening to that again because it takes me right back there. So Michael and I have been speaking for a while, and the situation seemed like it was pretty much calm. Negotiators were arriving, SWAT team had arrived, and they were setting up in their position.
