"I can't do it," Poland told Dykes. "Do it!" Dykes screamed. Poland replied calmly and simply, "No." With a gun staring him in the face, Poland said, "Sorry, you're going to have to shoot me." "How about I shoot a kid then," Dykes said. "No. It's my responsibility to keep these kids on the bus. I can't turn them over to somebody else," Poland said. ************************************************************ ************ You can hear the screams of the children and muffled gun shots on the tape. The dispatcher asked, "Oh my gosh, what's going on?" "He just shot Mr. Poland," Watts said. "I think Mr. Poland is dead." ********************************** "He could've taken several kids if it were not for the specific actions of Chuck Poland," Richardson told ABC News. ************************************************************ ************ "I would hope, as a 23-year law enforcement veteran, that I could have performed as good as the 15-year-old young man did when he dialed 911 ... unbelievable." ************************************************************ ************ FBI behavioral scientist Molly Amman was flown down to Alabama to help with the unfolding crisis. She quickly assessed the situation and said it did not look good. ************************************************************ ************ The negotiating team wouldn't say how they knew, but they somehow did know that Dykes was watching TV in that bunker. So they carefully tailored their message to protect Ethan when addressing the cameras, with Sheriff Olson saying: "I want to thank Mr. Dykes for taking care of Ethan." The strategy seemed to work. Ethan remained calm in the bunker, playing with coloring books and toy cars sent down to keep him occupied. ************************************************************ ************ "I'll tell you," Richardson said, "in the command post when the orders were granted to execute the plan ... there was silence." Commander Kevin Cornelius' men were the ones about to go into hell to save Ethan. Most had families of their own. ************************************************************ ************ As the team breached the bunker with a stun grenade, Dykes detonated the perimeter bomb. Smoke began to pour out of the bunker entrance, which was only three feet in diameter, and the tactical team descended into darkness. ************************************************************ ************ The silence and tension was finally broken by a beautiful sound: a child crying. ************************************************************ ************ |
