The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has shared new video and information more than two months after officers shot and killed a suspect.
Officers responded to the 500 block of S. Holt Road on Oct. 2 after someone called 911 and said her roommate was being held hostage inside a bedroom by her boyfriend, Thomas Talley, who had a gun. Police later said it was the roommate's ex-boyfriend.
In the video, police say the 911 caller told dispatchers if police responded, he would shoot his girlfriend and responding officers. The caller also said the two were in a dispute over a missing cell phone. IMPD says they had responded to the home for multiple domestic disturbance calls in the past and that Talley had assaulted another woman before officers arrived at the home.In body camera video, a sergeant with his gun drawn can be heard saying"get out, come out."
"Tommy, come the f— out. This is not gonna end well, man," the sergeant said."Come out. Let her out and then we'll deal with you. Let her out, let her out."Once SWAT arrived, police say a crisis negotiator spoke with Talley through the door and asked him several times to let his girlfriend out safely."Tommy, if you just let the lady come out to us, you and I will continue talking," the negotiator said."You don't have to come out right now.
Four SWAT team members fired their weapons and hit Talley multiple times. The hostage was rescued and Talley died at the scene.The full IMPD video is available on YouTube. Viewer discretion is advised.
