WE ARE LEADING THE WAY ON MULTIPLE BREAKING NEWS STORIES FOR YOU THIS AFTERNOON. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M SHAREPALOLO AND I’M MIKE DAUGHTER. SO WE WANT TO BEGIN WITH THAT STANDOFF ENDING JUST A SHORT TIME AGO FOLLOWING A MULTI-COUNTY POLICE CHASE IT BEGAN AS A THREAT AT CINCINNATI’S FBI FACILITY INVOLVING TWO MAIN SCENES THE FIRST THE FBI BUILDING THERE IN SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP NEAR THE KENWOOD TOWN CENTER POLICE ARE SAYING A THREAT WAS MADE THERE THEN THE SUSPECT LEADING POLICE IN A CHASE THROUGH THREE COUNTIES INTO CLINTON COUNTY FINALLY OFF OF SMITH ROAD THERE AT CENTER ROAD SHOTS FIRED ALL ALONG THE WAY AND WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE FOR YOU TONIGHT FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT SCENES INVOLVED IN THIS VERY COMPLEX SITUATION THAT WAS UNFOLDING ALL DAY TODAY. WE BEGIN NOW WITH WLWT NEWS KAREN JOHNSON WHO HER JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO THAT THE STANDOFF IS FINALLY OVER. SO KAREN, DO WE KNOW WHO ENDED IT YET? CHERIE KNOW, WE DO NOT KNOW WHO ENDED IT. I CAN TELL YOU. I JUST TALKED TO A SPOKESPERSON FROM THE OHIO STATE HIGHWAY PATROL AND HE TELLS ME THEY WILL BE SENDING A TROOPER OVER HERE TO THE STAGING AREA AS SOON AS THEY CAN WAS HIS WORDS AS SOON AS THEY CAN, YOU KNOW EVEN KNOW THIS STANDOFF IS OVER THERE IS STILL A VERY LARGE POLICE PRESENCE AS A MATTER OF FACT, I THINK WE HAVE LIVE PICTURES AT THE COUNTRY VIEW PET HOSPITAL, WHICH IS ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF FROM WHERE I AM ON ROUTE 73. YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THESE FBI AGENTS THEY’RE GATHERED WOULD BE CI IS THERE LARGE POLICE PRESENCE BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE THE THREAT MAY BE OVER YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND NOW, THERE’S NOW A WHOLE OTHER INVESTIGATION THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE THE BOMB SQUAD MIGHT BE LOOKING AT THE SUSPECTS CAR IF YOU REMEMBER AS WE WERE REPORTING ALL DAY DAY THIS WEEK LEFT THE FBI. IT OFFICES IN CINCINNATI DROVE UP 71 IN WARREN COUNTY. THAT’S WHEN TROOPERS STARTED FOLLOWING HIM. HE STARTED FIRING SHOTS AT THE TROOPERS THEN HE GOT OFF. 73 HE STARTED HEADING EAST ON 73. HE EVENTUALLY DITCHED HIS CAR GOT OUT OF HIS CAR RAN AWAY. THAT’S WHEN THIS WHOLE STANDOFF STARTED SO YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE THEIR FIRST PRIORITY SITUATIONS LIKE THIS WOULD BE TO STOP THE THREAT. YOU KNOW, THEY HAD THEIR EYES ON HIM. THEY WERE TRYING TO STOP THE THREAT THEY KNEW HE WAS ARMED THEY WERE GOING ON THE RECORD SAYING HE WAS DANGEROUS AND ARMED BUT NOW AS I CAN JUST IMAGINE FROM COVERING THESE STORIES THEIR SECOND PRIORITY WILL PROBABLY BE TAKING A LOOK AT HIS CAR. WHAT ARE THEY HAVING HIS CAR? DO THEY HAVE WEAPONS IN HIS CAR ANY KIND OF EXPLOSIVES SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW, SO EVEN THOUGH THE THREAT IS OVER THE STANDOFF HAS ENDED THERE IS STILL AN INVESTIGATION THAT’S GOING TO TAKE PROBABLY HOURS. I’M GONNA SEND IT BACK TO YOU GUYS. KAREN JOHNSON LIVE FOR US THERE. KAREN WILL BE GOING BACK IF SHE GETS ANY NEW INFORMATION IF THERE’S ANY SORT OF NEWS CONFERENCE WHERE SHE IS OF COURSE WILL IMMEDIATELY GO BACK AND TAKE IT TO YOU LIVE POLICE HAVE HAD ROADS NEAR THAT STANDOFF SCENE BLOCKED OFF FOR MOST OF THE DAY TODAY AND WLWT NEWS 5 ANCHOR CURTIS FULLER ALIVE FOR US RIGHT NOW IN CLINTON COUNTY ALSO IN CURTIS YOU’VE GOTTEN AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN WITHOUT GETTING TOO CLOSE FOR THE POLICE TO DO THEIR JOB. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO SEE AND CONFIRM TODAY? WELL, I TELL YOU MIKE AND CHERIE. THIS HAS BEEN A CRAZY DAY. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. AND NOW THIS OPEN ROAD IS PROBABLY THE MOST NORMAL THING THAT WE’VE SEEN ALL DAY. JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. WE HAD IT BLOCKED OFF THE POLICE WERE HERE. I WANT TO ALSO SHOW YOU THE SCENE OF POLICE OFFICERS LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS AS THEY LINED UP TO THE AREA WHERE THIS SUSPECT WAS YOU WILL SEE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES THERE AS AS THE PERSON WHO IS AN OWNER OF THAT PROPERTY. THAT IS THE THOMPSON FAMILY FARM. IT’S THREE TO FOUR HUNDRED ACRES. HE’S TELLS ME AND SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME PERSPECTIVE OF HOW THIS GUY ENDED UP. AT THE THOMPSON FAMILY FARM. JUST LISTEN. IT’S JUST A COUNTRY ROAD ONE LANE COUNTRY ROAD, AND HE WRECKED GOING AROUND A LITTLE CORNER. HE WAS GOING UP THE ROAD LIKE A HUNDRED MILE AN HOUR WITH MY BROTHER SAID AND AND WRECKED THE FIRST CORNER AND HE’S BEEN THERE EVER SINCE SO THEY KNOW WHERE HE IS AND EVERYTHING’S JUST RIGHT THERE. SO THEY’RE JUST WAITING HE IS WOUNDED THEY SAID AND THEN BUT THE MED HELICOPTER SITTING IN THE FRONT YARD OF OUR FARM PROBABLY JUST WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. YEAH, AND I SPOKE WITH MR. THOMPSON WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THAT AREA MANY OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS WERE THERE THEY WEREN’T IN ANY DANGER. THEY COULDN’T LEAVE HE COULDN’T GET THERE. HE WAS TALKING TO THEM BY TELEPHONE, BUT I TELL YOU ONCE WE SAW THAT HELICOPTER LAND WE KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS UP. WE WERE TOO FAR AWAY TO REALLY HEAR IT WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN VERY EXPLOSIVE FOR US TO HEAR ANY SOUND BUT BASED ON WHAT WE SAW WE KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS UP AND AS OF THIS POINT AGAIN THINGS HAVE WRAPPED UP HERE AT THE SCENE, BUT AS KAREN MENTIONED THE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS IS FAR FROM OVER REPORTING LIVE. I’M CURTIS FULLER WLWT NEWS, RIGHT CURTIS. AND AGAIN, WE’LL CHECK BACK IF YOU GET ANY NEW INFORMATION WHERE YOU ARE AGAIN POLICE SAY ALL OF THIS STARTED A COUPLE OF COUNTIES AWAY WITH A THREAT AT THE FBI BUILDING THERE I
