On the morning of August 18th, three systems collided in Worcester, Massachusetts: a 911 center, a police department that had to investigate one of its own.Officers were called to Wildwood Avenue on a report of a person down.

Six days later, his wife Karen Solomon, co-founder of Blue H.E.L.P., was found dead in the woods off May Street.Worcester Police Chief Paul Saucier has said investigators believe this was a murder-suicide.

One active shooter moving through a Twin Falls, Idaho In-N-Out — and every call had to be sorted, triaged, and turned into a picture the responding officers could actually use.Drew, a police commander with 29 years of law enforcement experience, and Jon, an active 911 dispatcher and certified crisis negotiator, break down what it actually takes to run a comm center through an incident like this — how two people split the work when the phones won't stop, how a description gets built out of panicked, conflicting 911 calls, how a "second shooter" report gets born from nothing but fear and bad information, and how one dispatcher has to keep listening while the other starts talking units through a scene that's still moving.

18-year-old Grant Solomon was crushed beneath his own pickup truck while his father, Aaron Solomon, called 911 for help. It appeared to be a horrific accident.
