A 9-1-1 call was received in the early afternoon hours of October 20, 2023, which led to a series of events. A distraught female was reporting a male intruder with a gun in her residence. Telecommunicators Stephanie Stone, Tim Walters and Wade Davis quickly recognized the severity of the incident and sprang into action. Telecommunicator Stephanie Stone remained on the call gathering additional details for responders, as well as encouraging the female victim to jump from a second-story window. With the encouragement of officers on scene, the female jumped off the second-story roof. Telecommunicators Tim Walters and Wade Davis dispatched additional officers and continued to provide updates while officers were en route. The male intruder was found deceased inside the residence from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Their quick response, teamwork and immediate actions likely resulted in saving the life of the female victim. A failure to act or delay in action would have likely led to a tragic outcome.
