Randy Crosson had 香蕉视频直播渄etermined, angry, rage-filled eyes香蕉视频直播� in his last seconds, using his girlfriend as a shield as police fired more than 30 bullets in their direction.

Bedlam had already erupted in the small bedroom as Const. Brent Wantke followed his fellow Emergency Response Team members in. Crosson, 48, had a gun to Nona McEwan香蕉视频直播檚 chest, she screamed, and the bullets flew. Wantke didn香蕉视频直播檛 fire his, for fear of hitting the other ERT officers before him.

香蕉视频直播淭he hostage was brought to the kitchen,香蕉视频直播� he said, for medical help. Wantke did a 香蕉视频直播渨et check香蕉视频直播� on Const. Darcy Rowe, to make sure he wasn香蕉视频直播檛 hit. 香蕉视频直播淚t was very crowded.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭hey were in super, super tight,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 couldn香蕉视频直播檛 see the paint on the wall, that香蕉视频直播檚 how close they were.

香蕉视频直播淚 couldn香蕉视频直播檛 say how many rounds came from who.香蕉视频直播�

At the four-minute mark into Crosson香蕉视频直播檚 five-minute warning, the six ERT officers were authorized to go in. 香蕉视频直播淲e believed that the suspect was going to imminently kill the hostage,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播滿y role was to simply save the hostage any way possible.香蕉视频直播�

Wantke had been with ERT for four months at the time.

Rowe, the second officer to enter the room, fired his gun. He too recalled the terrifying scene, testifying Friday (April 19) during a coroner香蕉视频直播檚 inquest into the deaths of Crosson and McEwan, 45, both killed by police during the March 29, 2019 hostage-taking in the Whalley house she rented.

Coroner Margaret Janzen is presiding over the inquest in Burnaby, at Coroners香蕉视频直播� Court. It香蕉视频直播檚 expected to run for two weeks, with a jury of four women and a man hearing testimony.

Urgency and stress were clear in Rowe香蕉视频直播檚 voice as he recounted the horror.

Smoke and debris hung in the air from the strip charge police used to blast the bedroom door open. A stream of light shone through the window onto the bed. Crosson was 香蕉视频直播渟eated up香蕉视频直播� in the darkness at the corner of the bed, with McEwan on top of him, and he was holding her around her neck.

香蕉视频直播淚 could see the movements of Miss McEwan香蕉视频直播檚 hair,香蕉视频直播� Rowe said. 香蕉视频直播淚 knew that I had to get closer.香蕉视频直播�

Crosson pointed his gun at Rowe香蕉视频直播檚 partners. 香蕉视频直播淚 see his eyes and he has determined, angry, rage-filled, eyes as he starts pointing out towards my partners. I know now that there香蕉视频直播檚 a bunch of debris in the doorway which has started to tangle in my feet. I香蕉视频直播檓 trying to now get to that contact shot as I香蕉视频直播檝e seen this change. I now realize that I can香蕉视频直播檛 get to that, but I have to do something in order to stop this threat. I believe that Miss McEwan香蕉视频直播檚 on top of him, as the shield, I take this as a chance to twist and shoot under and hit him in such a way that it will change his behaviour. As I fire, I香蕉视频直播檓 starting to go down from all the debris I香蕉视频直播檝e been caught up in, the weight of my vest and helmet take me down, and in that instant there香蕉视频直播檚 a moment of fabric and everything which becomes in my view which hadn香蕉视频直播檛 been, and I can香蕉视频直播檛 understand what happened. At that point I come to rest on the corner of the bed.香蕉视频直播�

Multiple rounds are going off. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 stuck on that corner of the bed, laying partially down against it.香蕉视频直播�

The firing stops but 香蕉视频直播渢he yelling and screaming and everything continues, I香蕉视频直播檓 grabbed, people believe I香蕉视频直播檓 shot.香蕉视频直播�

Rowe got pulled out of the room, taken out of the house through the front and to a vehicle. 香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 see what has happened and transpired within the room, I don香蕉视频直播檛 know the status of Miss McEwan, Mr. Crosson or my teammates at that point.香蕉视频直播�

Rowe said he fired two rounds. Asked how many gunshots he heard, Rowe told the inquest 香蕉视频直播渄ozens, there was probably more than 30 rounds fired香蕉视频直播� from different firearms.

A Surrey-based police watchdog 香蕉视频直播� the Independent Investigations Office 香蕉视频直播� in 2020 found the ERT blameless in the shooting deaths. The standoff saw roughly two dozen police vehicles, as well as an armoured vehicle, descend on the home in a cul-de-sac near 132A Street and 100A Avenue.

Both officers were asked if the phenomenon of sympathetic fire occurred, when officers shoot because others are. 香蕉视频直播淣o, absolutely not,香蕉视频直播� Wantke told the jury.

Rowe said he couldn香蕉视频直播檛 speak to what the other officers did. 香蕉视频直播淚 know what I saw and what I reacted to, I don香蕉视频直播檛 know what their risk assessment was at that point or what they saw, so I can香蕉视频直播檛 speak to that, no.香蕉视频直播�

The inquest continues.
