Man Calls 911 And Kills Police Emergency Dispatcher

21-year old Trepierre Hummons called 911 and pretended to be a concerned witness who'd seen a man acting erratically with a gun, then waited with a gun for police to arrive. According to Cincinnati police,he told the operator:
"He's walking around getting belligerent with a gun." Then he gave a description of himself in a shaky voice. "Very early 20s ... about like 5 (foot) 6 ... he's a little thick fellow."

The operator took down his name and number. Hummons thanked her. She ended the call and dispatched an officer. Hummons dialed 911 again to make sure police were on their way, and he repeated his location. Moments later, the dispatcher repeated to an officer the description of the irate man with the gun.

When they did,he shot and killed 48-year-old Officer Sonny Kim, a husband and father of three. The suspect then returned to Police Officer Kim, who was lying wounded on the street and began to fight with him in an effort to take the officer's firearm. Kim struggled as he bled, but couldn't hang on to his weapon.

When a third officer, Tom Sandmann, arrived, Hummons used Kim's gun to fire at him. But Sandmann returned fire and wounded Hummons.

Both Hummons and Kim later died at a hospital.
