The first responding police officer was shot in the neck by the hostage taker and went down inside the home. As the gunman barricaded himself in the basement with the hostage, the police began negotiations. The SWAT Team was called and continued negotiations, which later included the use of a third-party intermediary. Scott will present this debrief with a focus on the influencing techniques used by negotiators.
