- I, Jimmie Carter, do solemnly swear.

- That I will faithfully execute.

- That I will faithfully execute.

the nation to try to do away with the homosexuals.

Luis Robinson emerged from being booked.

Yesterday a violent hijacker, now accused of

killing two people, seriously injuring two others

and terrorizing about two dozen hostages.

I didn't intend to kill him.

I just wanted to make everybody

on the bus realize that I was serious.

So how about making yourself

a part of that 200 year tradition?

Take stock in America with United States savings bonds.

David Berkowitz indicted

for murder, also known as Son of Sam.

His lawyer said if he is brought to trial

he will use insanity as a defense.

- I just can't believe he's dead.

It's terrible, but I just thank God that

Elvis died here at Graceland instead of

on the road just like any other rock and roll singer.

- It's just a great loss to everybody

and there's just like an empty feeling inside.

- Citizens subjected to violence,

vandalism, theft and discomfort.

The blackout has threatened our safety.

We've been needlessly subjected to a night of terror.

Here it is mid-morning about 10:20 a.m. and looting

is still going on at this particular supermarket.

The reason; there are no cops here.

Have you recently had a close encounter?

I want to speak to someone in charge!

I want to lodge a complaint.

- Close encounter with something very unusual.

- What the hell is going on around here?

Who the hell are you?

Indiana emergency.

Sir, this is a dire emergency.

A real serious thing, I've just taken a prisoner.

It's not a crank call.

I've got a 12 gauge sawed off automatic shotgun.

There should be a lieutenant there, too.

- I was in Vietnam, so I've been in firefights before.

I wasn't nervous, I wasn't afraid.

I just, I figured I'm here to cover this event.

Man with a gun, possible hostage situation.

They're on the fourth floor, control.

We need to shut down the elevators, 129 East Market Street.

Get back, gentlemen.

Get back away from the window.

Buck went up to the stairs,

but he's not answering for anyone.

Secure that front door.

Clear the lobby.

Going right down the stairs now.

10-9, sir.

We're en route down the stairs, he has a loaded 1042.

Everybody stay ready, use caution.

They got down to the corner and Tony's lost.

He doesn't know where his car is.

He's walking east on Market from,

east on Market from Pennsylvania towards Delaware.

He does have a shotgun wired to the subject's head.

They turned left toward Washington Street

and right there is a parking garage.

All cars, he's south

on Pennsylvania from Market, south on

Pennsylvania from Market on foot.

Marion County downtown, the subject holding

the two city police officers hostage is now

walking southbound on Pennsylvania from Market.

Suspect has entered

a parking garage on Pennsylvania.

- Bill, we gotta cross over for a better shot.

Look in the window.

Get outta here, alright, excuse me.

We think he's trying to take a car.

We estimate he knew where his car,

but he refused to give it to him.

Suspect's

coming back onto Pennsylvania.

Suspect's moving.

From the looks of it, one movement

of his trigger finger and Hall's head is gone.

Southbound for now.

Every time we'd stop someplace he wanted a car.

He said, till the car gets here we'll start walking.

We went down to Washington Street and started walking west.

We're following the suspect

westbound on Washington Street, control.

We're on the north side of Washington Street.

You need to block off Washington Street

somewhere before Rush Street.

Stand by, they've stopped.

The longer he stood there and tried

to talk to people, the madder he got.

Because he wasn't getting any of

the cooperation that he wanted.

- No one knew what Kiritsis was going to do.

For all they know he was going to shoot him right there.

They're moving again, control.

Westbound on Washington.

- The uniformed officers were kind of rushing ahead.

And there were several detectives walking together,

talking about, well, gee, what can we do about this?

- You know, the first thing that they taught us

is you try to find out what the problem is

and set up some type of communications with the guy.

So I stepped forward and started calling his name.

- I saw Mike Grable with his arms open.

Common gesture, I'm unarmed, I can't hurt you.

What do you want?

- He turned around and he screamed at me.

He says, "Are you crazy?"

He says, "You want me to kill this guy?"

Tony turned around and actually

pulled Hall as well as the shotgun.

- Then they slipped and fell, both of them.

Hold your fire, hold your fire!

- Got up and I remember the look on his face.

He was real surprised that that shotgun didn't go off.

- And then he reached down into his belt

and that's the first time I realized he had

a pistol stuck in the front of his pants.

It started to come out or come loose

and as he was getting up, both of them

were getting up, he reached for his weapon.

And I'm thinking to myself, well, if he pulls

this gun and points at me, I'm going to shoot him.

- Tony was close enough to take that pistol out

and shoot a couple, three policemen.

If Tony pulled that pistol, if he'd have fired

I think someone would have killed him.

They would have had to.

As I got closer I heard Tony and he was very angry.

And he was yelling at the policemen.

- He said he liked police officers,

some of his best friends are police officers.

He said, "Now, do your job."

That was sort of the dichotomy of the way he thought.

Is he's doing this wild, crazy act,

but yet he thought they should be doing their jobs

to stop him from doing what he's doing.

We're passing Capitol.

Traffic's blocked ahead of you.

I knew we were in trouble.

All he wanted all the way across town was a car.

An officer had parked a car, long ways,

right by the path that we were taking

with the door open and the motor running.

And I thought, we'll never make it

to the other side of the street.

And sure enough, when we got to that door he said stop.

I knew it.

He told me to turn around and he raised my sweater,

I knew what he was after, he wanted my handcuffs.

- As we're approaching the intersection we hear a bang.

It startled all of us because the

first thing we looked at was Hall.

- I hear this crash off to the side and so I panned over.

There was just some gawker that, poor guy,

had driven up on this whole scene

and he was looking and ran into

the telephone pole, so I went back to Hall.

Tony went over to the car that was,

the marked police car was running, door open.

He slid in and he pulled Hall in behind him.

This wire around Hall's neck was extremely tight

and I think Hall was having trouble breathing.

Let's see if I can get a ride.

Does anybody got a car?

Come here, Bill, Bill come here.

Does anybody got a car?

Jack!

- Mike and I talked about it a number of times.

It just never, ever got any easier talking about it because,

what are you going to do?

What are you going to do?

And that's really what the officers

said to him, some, several officers,

I think, said, what are you going to do?

And we didn't know what he was going to do.

And I'm not sure Tony knew what he was going to do.

Mark, you've been following

another aspect of this hostage situation.

What can you report to us at this time?

Well, Tom, right now the suspect

and his victim are proceeding westbound

on Washington Street in an Indianapolis

police car with red lights flashing.

The car is number 2-132.

It was proceeding west on demand

from the kidnapper, apparently, as a consequence

and part of the hostage situation

that developed about an hour ago.

We are about two to three hundred yards away
