detective and s.w.a.t team member responds to the 911 call, along with several dozen other cops. >> i could see his face and my impression was that he was very calm and that's not unusual for someone who has decided to commit suicide. often a state of calmness comes into play because they have made their decision. >> but if he wants to commit suicide, why does he stage such a spectacle in a public place? >> we already knew from what he had told the 911 dispatcher that he wanted the police to shoot him. almost all police officers receive training in that phenomenon, of suicide by cop. >> the officers negotiate, but gittens wants police to shoot him. >> fortunately in my career in 34 years in law enforcement, i never had to shoot someone and that was really the very first day in my entire career i was faced with that possibility. my adrenaline was up simply from that perspective. >> gittens isn't giving up. and police need to end the standoff before anyone gets hurt. mcgann and the s.w.a.t. team
