A 911 recording captured a first-hand account of a terrifying home invasion that took place yesterday in Westminster, Colorado. The whole dramatic situation was caught on video recording as a terrified mother spoke with a 911 operator from a closet after barricading herself and her teenage son in her bedroom.
The woman managed to call 911 after she grabbed the phone and ran upstairs after a robber forced his way into her home in the early evening. The operator dispatched the police and stays on the line with the woman as she recounts what is going on in her home. You can clearly hear as the robber rummages through the family home before making his way upstairs to her bedroom.
The operator stays on line with the woman as she has a conversation when the burglar from behind the locked bedroom door.
This was the scenario that played out:
The woman whispered to the 911 operator: "He's coming in my room".
The burglar then bangs on the door and orders
her to open it.
The woman then shouts to the burglar: "What do you want? Tell me what you want. I'll give you whatever your want".
"You know what I want," the burglar replies.
"No, I don't. But I'll give it you. Just tell me what you want. Do you want money?" the woman replies.
The woman then asks the burglar how much money he wants and the burglar replies that he wants "all of it."
The mother kept him talking for even more time as she asked him if he wanted her jewelry.
This was just enough time for the police to arrive and apprehend the suspect, who was still on the scene.
This woman is being touted as a hero and the dispatch operator called her "a genius" for keeping the burglar talking and on the scene long enough so that police could arrive.
