Raise your hands. Show me your hands. Gun. Daniel. Damn it. He has a gun. The gun has fired. The suspect has fired. He is still inside the house. Gunfire echoes through the Kenosha, Wisconsin neighborhood. Inside the duplex, a dangerous gunman is barricaded with hostages, continuously firing at the police outside. Hey Bray, can you move? Can you come back to my location? I can't. I can't. We have someone trapped. Right in the line of fire. Officer SBY is trapped at the front door of the death house. She cannot retreat and there is no cover. With each passing second, the risk of this female officer becoming the next target of the gunman grows larger. There is a woman at this corner of the house. I see her now. Then gunfire rings out again, piercing the darkness, accompanied by agonizing screams from inside. Every second of delay could take the lives of innocent people. The Kenosha police are forced to mobilize an entire campaign from negotiation, sniping, ballistic shields to full-on raids. But will it all be enough to save the hostages inside? Stay with us as we follow every 10th second of this life or death standoff. At 8:15 p.m. on a Monday, a series of gunshots suddenly erupted in the quiet neighborhood of Kenosha, Wisconsin. A few minutes later, an elderly man called 911, reporting that someone had just tried to kill him. Kenosha, 911. What's your emergency? I need an ambulance and a fire truck. Oh, it hurts so much. What's the address? 1,32456th Street. I have just been shot. Is it an apartment or a condo? It's an apartment. It's a duplex. I've been shot in the leg and maybe in the arm, too. The shooter is in the apartment next door, and I know he has a felony warrant in Ohio or New York. Police are immediately dispatched to the scene. They probably didn't think the danger level of this rescue would be this terrifying to the level of danger of the rescue mission being so terrifying. There is a shooting right here on this side. Show me your hands. Where is he? Inside the house. Who is he? Who was shot? What? Show me your hands. Show me your hands. Where is he? Luke, show yourself. Come out. Come out. Who was shot? Where do we go? I can't breathe. You need to tell us so we can help. We can help. The shooter where? He's in the second house where there are lights. The second house. The one with lights. As the police approached the woman outside, the door inside immediately slammed shut. The two-story house was divided into two apartments with many dangerous angles. So, they had to quickly evacuate the woman from the area and establish a safe perimeter. But the situation quickly became very tense. Show me your hands. Down. Down. Down. Damn you guys. He has a gun has fired. PD suspects the shooter has opened fire. He's still inside. The shooter suddenly fired from the window, forcing the police to rush to find cover. As they withdrew west, Bray quickly ducked behind a car, but fell right into his line of fire. The car only offered partial cover, leaving her trapped in an extremely dangerous situation. The woman just rescued was also left in the line of fire. The police knew they had to get her out before things got worse. Get her out of there. Get her out of there. There's a woman in the house. The shooter has fired. He's shooting out the window at us. Find cover. Find cover. They're looking for cover. He's standing in front of the house on the south side of the street. The danger and tension increased with each passing second. Reinforcement units arrive consecutively, quickly surrounding the entire area. However, this was just the beginning of a deadly shootout where both police and civilians faced the risk of losing their lives at any moment. At this time, Sergeant Brian Miller and Adam Jack were approaching from the east and west while the shooter continued firing. He is in front of the house on the south side of the street. Where is he? Where? Inside the house. Which house? Right here. I need assistance. Go. Another round of shots. Where is that bastard? What do you see? Do you see anything? There's a woman in the house. The suspect has fired. He's shooting out from the window at us. Come back here. Can you come back? Come back here. Can you return? Which one? This window. He must be there. Ma'am, you need to leave. Get out of there. Move. Gunfire again. Where is he? He's at the window of the second house. upstairs of the second house. Ah, where is it? I can't point this out. Look to your left. Do you see him? He was just at the front window. That's right. The situation became extremely unpredictable. The shooter continuously fired from three front windows and one east window, forcing Sergeant Jensen to return fire. To the west, there were two more open windows, plus a garage and an unmonitored back exit, giving him many opportunities to escape or ambush. Two urgent issues arose. The police still believed there was only one shooter, but in reality, there was a child inside. The news they were unaware of. Meanwhile, Officer Bray and a civilian woman remained in the line of fire. The risk of being shot at any moment if action was not taken promptly. In the line of fire, the risk of being shot at any moment if no action was taken promptly. Hey, Bray, can you move? Can you come back to me? I can't. I can't. 49 years. Do you have a shield? I have someone stuck right in front. The shield is in the team's vehicle. A.M. at the front corner. I need a shield. Someone bring it to me. Stay put behind the engine block. Girl, is there anything else? Do you see anything? Where's the suspect? Where's that woman? I don't know. My husband is also in there. Oh my god. He's holding my husband hostage. There's someone else in the house. This revelation helped the police understand that there were still hostages trapped inside, complicating the situation more than ever. And the top priority now is to rescue the hostages. They have two urgent missions. One is to get the female officer out of the danger zone and two is to prepare to breach and to rescue the hostages. To carry out this difficult mission, Sergeant Adam Jensen requested a shield. To create a path for the trapped person, can someone bring me the shield? Bring the shield up here. I have someone stuck right by the front door of the house. If I have the shield, we can get them out of there. If we have the shield, we will get them out. We are on our way to you. Stand here. Stand here. Do you see her? No, I don't see her. Do you see her? She's stuck here next to the car. I don't see her at all. She's right here. We need to get her out of there now. Where's the house? Where's the house? The house is over there. That house over there. He shot from the window. He shot at us. Do you understand? Understood. I think the priority now is to get Bray out. Get her out of there. Bring the rifle. You go that way. Ready? Let's go, Beri. We are coming to you. Okay, do it. Please be careful. Please. Please. We will be careful. Come on. We have to get out of here. Ready? Okay. You head toward the house. I'm doing it. All right. I'm doing it now. Good. Good. Hurry. Get me out of here. Greater than. Greater than. Fortunately, the rescue was successful. Officer Brittney Bray was safely extracted from the danger zone. However, the threat was far from over. The police force had surrounded the house from both the east and west directions. Meanwhile, reinforcements continued to arrive. Amidst the chaos at the scene, security cameras captured footage of a vehicle slowly driving. A deadly shootout is underway. Oh my god. Who is that? Who is it? Hold on. Nen, don't leave. Get out of the house. Get out of here. Hurry up. I live here. I don't care. Get away. He's shooting over there. Aiming at we. Don't you know? Civilians have been safely evacuated. Police immediately focus on the danger ahead. Rescue the remaining female witness. Stuck? Then dealing with the shooter to minimize casualties. Casualties could occur just as they prepare to act. The suspect is ready for an offensive plan. Moreover, keep going. Get outside. Are you hurt? Where are you hurt, chief? I have four people. There is a woman in this corner of the house. That area is northeast. She's trapped right in this area. I think she's there. Do you see? Trapped right in this area. I think she's there. Do you see? She's right in front of me. Do you see? I have not. I have her here. We can coordinate as a team to get her out. That will be the next thing we need to do to get her out. That will be the next thing we need to do. Do you see anything over here? A woman says they're shooting from the apartment apparently from inside. Is she okay? Is anyone hurt? Do we know where the shots are coming from? When I fired back, I aimed at the house and it seems he's shooting from the front window towards break. Now I see him smashing the glass. I also from the front window towards break. Now I see him smashing the glass. I also see bullet traces on all sides of the house. So I don't know where he is anymore. We can see the tracks. Fire. We will move a little closer. There are a few garages over there. We can use as cover again. There's a voice. Ma'am, who is in the house? What are their names? No. The desperate screams after the shots confirm that something terrible has happened. The enemy just harmed a hostage. The police understand that if this situation continues, the necessary information before proceeding to breach is the number of people still trapped inside. The shooter's location and his identity. Mysteries are about to be revealed. Ma'am, who is in the house? What are their names? My husband is corops. Matthew Lopez has a gun. Understood. Check the information related to Matthew Lopez in the house. This woman says he is the shooter and I think Gary Tiaz is the husband. She says he is still trapped in there with him. When the suspect's identity was confirmed, the police began linking information and immediately felt alarmed. Matthew Lopez's criminal record shows he is a sex offender. At the same time, the caller to 911 initially reported that he was wanted for a felony in Ohio or New York and might be using an alias. That meant they were facing an armed individual with a violent past and an unstable mindset. But just as the police were sifting through a mountain of information, an unexpected turn occurred. Lopez himself called 911. Hello, Kino's 911. What is your emergency address? He's going to kill us. I'm holding a hostage right here, and your damn cops are trying to shoot me. I've shot two people already. I'm not afraid to die. I'm about to commit suicide. I have a gun to my head. I see a cop. He's going to shoot me. This is a problem with those damn cops. I'm serious. Do you really want to play this game? I don't care. And my phone is about to die. So, if you don't want me to hang up, you better not push me. I'm extremely ready to pull the trigger here. And I still have three bullets left. How many people are in the house with you? Two. Are they injured? Yes. Where are they hurt? In the thigh. In the thigh. Right. I shot that damn thigh of his because the cops kept rushing in here. I'm just asking for a few simple things. The other person is with the intruder and is causing me to panic. Do you understand? He's my neighbor, a junkie. If he charges at me again, things will get more complicated. Sir, I'm going to hang up so someone else can call back and talk to you. Okay, just make sure you'll still pick up the phone. Okay, hanging up now. They will call you back. Lopez didn't make any requests or explain his motives, but admitted he had shot two people. During the call, the sound of the hostage moaning could be heard. He's serious. He's going to kill us. At this time, one hostage is bleeding, and the gunman continues to threaten. Every decision the police make in the next 10 minutes will determine the fate of everyone inside. We have a man on the phone saying he is holding two hostages, has shot two people, and has three bullets left. The phone number is on file. He's still on the line. He's serious about it. I'll try to call this crazy guy to see what we can do. 553. Move up to that truck. You want me to approach the truck? I'm on my way. Waiting for orders from the shooter. Currently, someone is talking to the person inside the house. He says he's talking to an officer and admits he shot someone in the house in the thigh. Do we have a negotiation team? Yes, Pepsen. Mr. Leo and I. If there are still injured people inside, we must go in. We can try. But if emergency aid is needed, we'll just have to accept it. Perhaps we really have to go in. Do you have a team ready? All right, we can move over there. Is there remote support for testing firearms? Yes. At this moment, many silent developments are happening behind the scenes. The negotiation team continuously called Lopez to find ways to maintain dialogue. While the police tightened the perimeter, a medical team was stationed at a nearby elementary school, ready to provide emergency care for the victims. Meanwhile, traffic checkpoints were set up around the neighborhood to prevent civilians from entering the danger zone. With all precautions in place, the police prepared for a final effort to convince the suspect, Lopez, to surrender. I have that guy's phone number, 262515. He claimed his name was Matthew. Will he come out? It went to voicemail. When Lopez's phone went straight to voicemail, the chance to convince him to surrender ended. The police knew they could not delay any longer. They were forced to act immediately. Sergeant Brian Miller ordered the team to approach. The tactical plan was simple but risky. Burst through the front door with a ballistic shield, neutralize the shooter, and rescue the hostage. Other officers were ordered to reposition, surrounding the house from multiple directions. Everyone was acutely aware of the risks. When the door was breached, they could face death immediately. Okay, let's start moving. Gather the team with shields. Oh, you go with us and split off. Then approach the southwest window. We should have taken that position from the start. Got it. Ready? We are still trying to make contact, so keep trying. But I get your point, right? I understand. I'm still here trying. Who's holding the shield? What's the plan? Where are we going? The front door by the mailbox. L will lead you to the cracked window at the southwest corner. I see it right next to the front door. Then split off. SHF or PEP, advance to the right and left of the shield. Move to the right and left of the shield. Easy now. Easy now. Jensen's on the left. Tell me when to advance. All right. Ready? Tell me when to advance. All right. Ready? Move up now. Easy now. I see the window right next to the front door. Okay. Look at the window. The fourth window. Go all the way around. Go. Stop. All right. Move up. Move up. Find a transition point on the side. What do we need? I want you on the other side of the house. There's movement at the left window. Be careful. I'm going to kick the door in here. Move. Move. Move to the left. I mean, he ran to the left. Watch the window. Watch the window. Watch that window. Hands up now. Hands up. Hands up. I got him. I have him under control now. Is everything okay? Is everything okay? Where's the shooter? Unclear. Go inside. Give me your hand. Give me your hand. When the police stormed in, they found two injured men lying on the floor, bleeding heavily and nearly unconscious. Although their identities were unclear, both seemed to be hostages who had been shot. But the house was still not safe. The kitchen, many bedrooms, and the basement have not been checked. And the asalent, Lopez, has yet to reveal himself and could be hiding anywhere. Pay attention to the details. Both appear to be hostages who were shot. There will be a surprise at the end of the video. He's right here, just in front of that. Stop. I need a light. Someone shine a light over here. I have his hand. I need a light. Is there a light? Call for medical assistance. What do you want? 657. Medical is on the way. Ready? Pull him out. Pull him out now. Pull him out. Could he have been shot in the leg? He was shot in the head. We need to verify. They said there are two injured people here. Come with me to check the rest of the house. 57. There are two people shot in the head. Hold your position. We need to check the entire house. Who has a flashlight? Are you ready? You check the right. I'll take the left. Light it up. Go with the light. Are you ready? Check around there. 111. Wait. Wait. Stay still. All right. Safe room. Safe room. I closed the door. Left door. Kitchen open on the right. All right. Switch positions. Shield up front. There's light from the other room now. Light from the other room now. Move forward. All right. I see the door open on the right leading to something like a back door. Yes. Leading to something like a back door. Move a bit further. See if we can assist. Basement. Door closed. Door closed. Hold your position. I'm holding it. Holding it. Death. How many people are missing? There are two hostages. No, only two so far. Just two people holding steady. Both have been shot. Unclear if there are others. No, sir. Have all three of these been checked? Have they all been checked? No, only two have been. Forget it. Just two people holding steady. Oh, the bathroom guard has broken the lock. Are you ready? It's locked. The basement door is locked, posing a difficult problem for the police. This poses a difficult problem for the police. This is inherently the most dangerous area to breach with many narrow paths, hidden corners, poor lighting, and if the suspect is hiding below, they could fall into a trap. Therefore, instead of breaking down the door, a sergeant decided to bypass the basement area. Focusing on securing the perimeter and verifying whether the suspect had escaped or was still hiding around here. When officer Eric Lamb stepped outside to check, a noise suddenly came from the garage. Excuse me, can you come through here? Come with me. This is the same house, right? Wait, is anyone holding that position? You guys are in the garage. How many people are in there? Just me and two dogs. Can you leave the dogs in there and come outside? We will open the door. Just show me your hands. Is there anyone else in that apartment? My husband is Grups. And who else? Matthew Lopez. Is there anyone else we don't know about? No. Dwayne lives in the next apartment. Dwayne. He is the one who was shot. It turns out the female witness had fled and was hiding in the garage. She reported that there was still another person inside in a different part of the two-story house that the police had not yet checked. By this point, they had only focused on the front apartment and the basement, forgetting that this was a duplex. When officer Eric was able to report, Sergeant Brian Miller moved to the remaining area, unaware that this area had not been checked yet. What is that door? Do you guys know? We don't know where it leads. We don't know. He has cleared it. This used to be the living room leading to the kitchen. Green, green, green, green. This is the living room, right? Living room. Living room. Green. Green. Kitchen. Here we are. Green. Green. Keep going. Is anyone there? Police. Wait a moment. One person step forward. Wait, is it the police? What's your name? Sergeant Miller. Hello. Come out, everyone. I'm trying. I'm trying. Where am I shot? In the leg. Is there anyone else in there? No, just me and the dog. Come outside. Is there anyone else here with you? No one else. Just me and the dog. Does this apartment connect to the other side? No. No. How did he get shot? 295. You have two victims and one suspect being sought. What do we have in the back? We haven't been able to check the basement yet. This is a person from another apartment. Watch that window. Do you think he's there? I think so. In the second apartment, Sergeant Miller found the man who called 911 first. This man was shot, becoming the third victim taken from the scene. But officer Miller quickly noticed something unusual. Lopez had previously stated there were only two hostages, so the appearance of a third person proves he was lying and there could be other victims yet to be discovered. The police searched the apartment but found no trace of Lopez. Now there's only one place left. Unchecked the basement. The police immediately gathered their forces, returning to the locked door, preparing to confront anyone hiding inside. Are you ready? Open the door now. Raise the shield. Miller, where are you going? Mike, I'm following behind. Number two, are you ready? Ready. I'll approach the door. If you want to check the left, go ahead. There's also up here. Take it slow. Eric, let me check this spot first. Ready? Green. Green. I'm checking this side. There's a blind spot here. I haven't checked it yet. I'll assist. Damn it. Do you see the corner I mentioned? Let me break left. I'm moving left now. What? Safe. All safe. We have a large room to check and may need more people. You have two. I've got four. Do you have four? We total four. All right, Eric. I'll go ahead. I'm going right. Okay, hold the door. Move forward. I'm covering this door. Is anyone checking that corner? Miller will take care of it. I'm following you. That corner is safe. Is everything all right over there? Good. I'll open this door. Mock. I think this is the basement door. Let's go. Blue, blue, blue, blue. Blind spot. The police conducted a sweep of the basement, but found no sign of Lopez or anyone else. They believed he had escaped in time. However, according to the account of a surviving hostage, everything changed. The suspect was a Hispanic man in his 30s, covered in tattoos, wearing a green shirt. At that moment, the police suddenly realized that Lopez hadn't vanished. He was one of the injured who had been brought out after shooting himself. As the police burst in when the situation was brought under control, Lopez and the injured hostages were taken to the hospital. Recognizing Lopez's cunning, my hometown has been ravaged by Exas. Investigators began to piece together the events to understand why Lopez opened fire and what his true motive was. They uncovered a spiral of paranoia and violence. Before the incident, Lopez lived in a two-story house with a roommate, having just moved from New York to start a new. But over the weekend, he vanished with a friend in a drug game, then returned in a state of agitation, convinced he was being watched and beaten. The drugs and phone were wiped clean. He was furious, believing that a pound of cocaine had been stolen. On the evening of December 19th, Lopez suddenly appeared. Out of control, he grabbed a woman, drew a weapon, and shouted that someone outside was trying to kill him, then fired two shots into the ceiling. In the chaos, Lopez shot another civilian in the thigh, then continued firing at a fleeing neighbor to see what was happening. Investigators concluded that this was the climax of a druginduced paranoia that led Lopez to attack everyone, confront the police, and then injure himself. The injured victims have recovered and been discharged from the hospital. Sadly, Lopez did not survive, taking with him the mystery of his true motives in the horrific tragedy in Kenosha. Thus, the rescue in Kenosha came to a close, and thankfully, no innocent lives were lost. Images of the brave officers rushing into the life and death fire to rescue hostages will always stand as a testament to courage and community responsibility. Behind that triumph, however, lies a painful tragedy. Drugs can destroy a person, turning them into a threat to the community. This serves as a reminder that courage can save lives, but crime prevention is the only way to avoid similar tragedies. Thank you for watching today's video.
