Hughes crawled around in the walls and ceiling for those who would try to approach. No way to fight of fire that hughes started. It was rapidly filling with smoke and concern of the fire spreading to adjacent buildings. The Fire Department could not get on neighboring roof tops. And as a result the adjacent buildings were undertaken and it appeared that the fire would spread. Due to the circumstance and the casualty of the event an order was presented to aim and fire at a known target. And likely because of the smoke, hughes went on a unit and in view of hines and huey. Unable to get a shot off, officers maintain position. They knew that through their training and experience that the chances of hughes to come back to the same window were good. And officer hines waited for another opportunity. And moments later hughes again stuck his head out the window. Officer huey knew if he didnt end his life that others would be in jeopardy. He fired one shot hitting hughes in the front of the head
Back to officer and hes the mayor, we will fix that. And this box is passed around after the presentation of the captain, and then vote. You need to get twothirds of a marble of a certain color to achieve a medal. If you do not get twothirds that is somewhere around 28 votes. It diverts down until you get to the medal that is appropriate. So i know tonight we dont have a gold medal. Gold medals are rare. They are really rare. I have been on the Medal Committee since 1997, and i can tell you that just about every gold medal was unanimous. And i was commenting and the one that everyone could understand the most is when the tiger got out in the zoo. And is the Police Department went in with. 40 calibers to hunt tigers. And someone said there is only three things that tigers do. They eat. They sleep and they make baby tigers. And thats all they do. And so to go in and they rightfully got a gold medal. The threshold for the gold medal, outstanding bravery of that expected in the line of dut
Yes, even boardedup buildings. Now, some of that is a vestige of a very painful and violent summer, but obviously, the vast majority is all about the defense of an inauguration still days away. As we show you some of the pictures in terms of what we have seen as a buildup over the last several days, you really do get a sense this is, without doubt, the largest security presence in d. C. s history. Were talking about up to 25,000 National Guard troops, were talking about up to 4,000 u. S. Marshals being deputized, some 4,000 Metro Police Officers on duty. And the metro even closing 13 subway stations in the area surrounding the National Mall which, as you know, has been mostly shut down. Here, by the way, mike, is a look at the travel situation across the city. Have you ever seen anything like this . The red on this map means no traffic access. And, yes, Restricted Movement checkpoints all along the lower half of downtown as you can see just about everywhere. And it is also a similar si
Contact with the woman and spoke with her and get a kind of story or rapport with the woman, and the woman told her life story. Why she was on the roof and why she was going to jump. I want to emphasize that then officer mcmahon was able to establish and maintain a rapport with her and the issues and homeless and wanted to end her life as others looked on at the christa hotel. Throughout the conversation the woman told the officer that she didnt want to live anymore. And wanted to jump. And assessing that situation, then officer mcmahon now Sergeant Mcmahon realized this would not go well, and edged closer to the woman. On this narrow fire escape on a building that was built in 1926. During that course of that conversation, the woman began to edge to the very end of the fire escape and suddenly jumped. Officer mcmahon with both arms grabbed her around the upper torso and helderhelder held suspended over the sidewalk on tenderloin. And he kept holding on to her as officer dags and Serge
Commission complementary. And i want to thank the commission, and the mayor, if you think you have a busy schedule, it doesnt compare to his. I assure you. And the police of honor and these awards is not on the way to anything. He came here for you, and he is our mayor. And back to the story. These three captains then will make recommendations and come back and forth and certified before the medal of Valor Committee. The medal of Valor Committee is by rule and commission only the captains of the Police Department and the command staff. Thats it. So low 40 something people max, and to get a medal you have to achieve a twothirds vote. And to get the twothirds we do that with marbles. I am not kidding. We have a box over 100 years old that dates back to the turn of the century. And inspector monroe is demoted back to officer and hes the mayor, we will fix that. And this box is passed around after the presentation of the captain, and then vote. You need to get twothirds of a marble of a ce
