This debrief examines a 9.5-hour standoff that began at 10:00 p.m. on November 10, 2020, and continued into the early morning hours. The incident involved a mentally impaired subject who believed the country was without leadership following the 2020 presidential election. The subject held his girlfriend hostage and was armed with a pistol, assault rifle, knives, and a Kevlar vest and helmet.

Prior to negotiations, the subject discharged his weapon and threatened to kill responding officers outside the residence. The presentation includes body-worn camera footage, recorded communications, a TPI, and negotiations conducted via text messaging.
