5. Shots Fired at a School
Officers responded to a “shots fired” call at a school. When the officers arrived, they observed a person (Dillon) fleeing the school grounds. One officer (Butch) pursued the person while the other officer (Cassidy) went inside the school. School officials told Cassidy that Dillon had planted a bomb in the school. When Dillon did not stop, Butch fired his pistol, striking Dillon in the leg. When Butch approached, Dillon immediately asked for a lawyer. Butch placed Dillon in handcuffs and searched him, finding no weapon. Based on a radio call from Cassidy at the school, Butch then asked Dillon where the bomb was located. After repeating himself three times, Dillon told Butch where the bomb was located. Officers found and defused the bomb.
