DeKalb police. What\'s
the address of the emergency?

This is Antoinette Tuff.

When I heard
the 911 call, I thought,

"Here\'s somebody
who has not just courage

"and not just cool under pressure

"but also had enough heart
that somehow,

"she could convince somebody
that was really troubled

"that she cared about him."

You know, you meet folks like
this all across the country.

Every single day,
they\'re doing incredible stuff.

But what exactly
makes this country so great

is that day-to-day courage, kindness,
empathy that really makes a difference.

Can I run?

Can you get somewhere safe?

Yeah, I\'ve got to go.

something children

That\'s Mommy\'s favorite song.

Oh, my goodness, Mama.

Would you please?
He is a grown man.

Ain\'t nothing wrong
with a mama loving on her children,

even the mouthy ones.

All right, little brother,
I\'m going to take you to rehab,

and then
I have to go to work.

Wait a minute.
One second. Hold up. Mmm-mmm.

D.

You sure you okay
to be doing this so soon?

You just got
out the hospital...

You\'re the one who said
I need to do for myself.

Mmm-hmm. Come on, D.
I am going to be late.

I got this.
Okay.

Have a good day
at work, Mama.

And you guys, too.

Yeah, Ma.
Go set those kids right.

Bye, Mama.

Love you.
Love you.

Hi, Antoinette!

Good morning, Virginia.
How are you?

How\'s your family?
Everybody\'s good.

Hi, Mrs. Tuff.
I finished all my reading.

Good job.
How are you, kiddo?

Good morning. Good morning.

You better carry that
right before you hurt yourself. Come on.

Guys, you\'ve got five minutes
left before the bell.

Hurry up. Let\'s go. Come on.
Come on. Oh, got him.

Let\'s go. Come on, guys.
Let\'s go.

Hustle, hustle, hustle!

Hey, guys.

Hi, Mrs. Tuff.

Hi, Timothy. Hi, Ricki.
Don\'t you two have someplace you need to be?

We were running an errand
for Mr. Carmichael.

Is that the errand?

Yes, ma\'am.
It\'s spiders.

I\'m sorry, what?
Spiders. Two of them.

Can I see it?
Let me check it out.

Hmm, okay.

Um, did you guys
ask Principal Shaw, was it okay to...

It\'s for class.
My mom says they\'re gross.

Yeah, well,
spiders and snakes.

But, you know, one time,
when I was about your age,

I saw a rattlesnake.

A real one?
Yes.

And I screamed,
and I took off running, but my grandma,

she stopped me and she said,
"No, no, no, don\'t run.

"Don\'t let the
snake scare you.

"You scare the snake."

Antoinette, I\'ve been
looking for you. Yes.

Okay, guys.
I\'m gonna let you go to class, okay?

And maybe I\'ll stop by Mr. Carmichael\'s
class and see what he\'s teaching you.

All righty.

You got my message about
covering the front office this afternoon?

Yes, I did.
I\'ll let her know you\'re on your way.

Okay.

Hello?

Wait a minute.
What\'s wrong?

I don\'t understand.

And there\'s
nothing I can do?

Okay.

Thank you for calling.

Okay, bye.

This is Ms. Tuff.

Yes, Ms. Shaw.
I\'m coming right now.

Okay. See you in a bit. Bye.

All right.

Hey, Virginia.
Oh, hi.

Oh, my gosh, thank you so much
for helping me do this.

I wasn\'t even gonna do it
because of my husband,

but then,
Principal Shaw said, "Why not?" So...

Just one second.
Oh, sorry.

Have a seat right here.

Okay.

Hey, Marie.

Antoinette, thank you so much
for doing this.

Not a problem at all.

Really nice meeting you.
Yeah, you, too.

Feel better, Luke.
Thanks again. You\'re a savior.

I\'m hardly that, girl.

Okay, have you signed him
out yet? No.

Let\'s go, big guy.

You better not be faking it.

You\'re married, though, right?
Are you on your husband\'s plan?

You know, we have
a really good policy,

so you might as well
take advantage of it.

So you need to decide
which type of deductible...

Right there...

I\'m gonna make it
a little bit easier for you.

Okay.
I like to take this off.

Yeah.
Right.

Okay.
Married.

This is DOB. Date of birth.

And check which one you want.

Okay.
Got it.

Which one of these
deductibles do you want?

The cheapest.
You can see the difference...

Okay. Well, you fill out
on this box right there.

Okay, got it.
Okay, got it.

Take this off.

I need you to sign one... Actually, one
more spot. I forgot.

Fill this out. Right there,
that box. Okay.

Perfect. I\'m gonna
take this part off,

and you just have
one more signature. Okay, right there.

This is your first baby.
I know!

One second.

All right, perfect.
Right there. One second.

Can I help you...

This is not a joke.

This is serious.

I need you to do
exactly as I say.

Okay, okay...
Shut up.

Okay.

Breathe. Just breathe.
Listen to me. Listen to me.

Shut up, both of you!
No one makes noise.

Where is everyone?

I asked you
a goddamn question. Where is everyone?

Please, just...
Teachers?

Where\'s all the goddamn teachers?

No, no, no,
please don\'t. You.

No, no, no. Please, please.
Please.

Stop! Stop!
Okay, okay.

Just calm down.
Okay, okay. Okay.

Get up, both of you.
Okay.

Get up.
We\'re up.

Okay.

Pregnant lady,

I want you to go in there,

and I want you to tell everyone in this
building that I\'m here.

And this isn\'t a joke.
This is serious.

Don\'t look at her. She ain\'t
gonna tell you what to do.

I tell you what to do.
You understand?

Yes, okay.
We understand.

We understand. Go ahead.

I can\'t leave.

I\'ll kill both of you
right now. Okay.

Both of you right now.
Okay.

So go.
Okay. Okay!

You tell everyone
that I\'m here.

And I\'m coming for them!

These little guys can shed
their whole exoskeleton.

Ooh!
What happens if it bites you?

It\'s just a pinch.
I\'ll live. I hope.

Oh, my...

Are you okay?

Is it the baby?
Should we call 911?

Active shooter.
What?

The kids.
We have to secure the kids. Where?

There\'s a young man
with a machine gun.

Okay, Virginia, where?
Oh, God.

In the front office
with Antoinette.

We are on lockdown, people.

Follow the plan.
Kids, first priority. Let\'s go.

Operator, we have a gunman at
Ronald E. McNair Elementary.

My plate is full.

My plate\'s getting too full.

There\'s not even
room for gravy.

"Thief comes,
but not to steal,

"to kill, and destroy."

Gonna have to help me through
this one.

Come on. Give me strength.
Help me through this.

I need your help.
Shut up.

It is too hot to
study science in that stuffy little room.

So maybe if we
take the spiders outside,

they\'ll teach us
how they make their webs.

Tarantulas don\'t use webs
for catching stuff.

Sometimes, though,
they use them, like, as signals.

Lockdown! Intruder alert.

He\'s in the front office.

Get the children back in your classroom
quickly and lock it down. Go, go, go!

Guys, guys.
Remember the drills?

Remember...
Quick like foxes, right?

Guys, we\'re locking it down.
Lockdown!

Come on, super quiet.
Back in the classroom.

- Lock it down!
- Lockdown!

Ramone!

Keep going, all right?
I\'ll be right there.

Ramone. No, no, no.

Hey, hey. It\'s all right.
It\'s all right.

Just leave it. Come on.
Come on. Come on.

Ooh.

It\'s too loud.

What\'s your name?

I\'m Antoinette.

I\'m the bookkeeper.

I don\'t usually...

I\'m just sitting in for
the front desk receptionist.

Everybody dies today.

Everybody dies.

Yes, you need to do
your best to secure the children.

How old are they?
Where are you? Teacher\'s lounge?

And how many children
are in the auditorium?

Hostage.

Okay.

Okay. Okay, try to remain calm, okay?
Someone will be right out.

Just like we practiced before.
All right, help me push this.

What are you doing?

Stop moving.

Stop moving up there.

What are you doing up there?
No noise.

Everyone\'s got to
stop moving.

You want to die
right now? Huh?

Sir, everyone\'s doing
exactly what you asked them.

Shut the hell up,
or I\'ll kill you.

Got to stop moving up there.

How many kids
are in this school?

How many kids
are in this school?

Answer the question.
How many kids are in this school?

You want to die right now, lady? How many
kids are in the school?

Answer the question.
How many kids are in the school?

How many kids
are in the school?

How many kids
are in the school?

Eight hundred and thirty one.

Eight hundred and thirty one.

Thank you.

That\'s a lot of kids.

Did you
take her temperature?

Baby, you\'ve got
to take her temperature.

I know, but sometimes,
kids just get hot.

Look. Yeah, look at that.

Knock it off.
What?

Not you, darling.
It was Curtis. He keeps stealing my fries.

Tell Rach she\'s got to
try a cold bath.

It\'s what my mom
used to do with me.

Curtis says, try a cold bath.

Active shooter. All units.

All available units to Ronald
E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy.

2162 2nd Avenue.
I repeat, active shooter.

Babe, I\'ve got to jump.
Yeah, we got a call. All right, I love you, too.

Give Sally a kiss for me.

On our way.
10-4.

My sister
went to that school.

Damn, man, how young are you?

Twenty-three.
She\'s a lot younger. She thought she was a mistake.

Caucasian male intruder, armed
with a possible automatic weapon.

Possibly an AK-47.

Number one side, school front
office, one and two corner.

Casualties? Hostages?

Possible female hostage, adult.

Damn.

County helicopter en route.

They got airborne fast.

That\'s a news chopper.

How many kids
go to that school?

When my sister went there?
Hundreds.

"The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want."

Who you talking to over there?
You on the phone?

God. I\'m talking to God.

God?

I\'m praying. Psalm 23.

What the hell is that?

"The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want..."

Stop. Shut up.
"He maketh me lie..."

Shut up! I can\'t think
with all that mumbling.

Most days, I talk to God

a good 15 minutes or so.

Apostle Tuff.

He\'s Terry\'s uncle.

And he told me that,
for as long as I talk to God,

that\'s how long
I\'ve got to listen.

So if I\'m talking to God
15 minutes,

then that\'s how long I have to sit in
total silence and just listen.

Fifteen minutes is a long time
when you really try to do it,

but I just close my eyes
and block out everything.

My kids, everything, you know?
The best I can.

Call 911.

Call 911?

That\'s what I said.
Call 911.

And the news.

I want everyone to know
what happens here today.

I want everyone to know.

Everyone. Everyone,
I need your attention.

Quiet!

What\'s going on?

I need all of you to just stay
focused and follow my directions, okay?

An intruder with a gun
has entered the building.

Please, please, stay calm.

We need to
move to the kitchen.

We need to do it quickly,
quietly, and together.

Are we gonna die?

Once we\'re in there,
we\'ll hide, okay?

Everyone,
quickly and orderly.

Together. Let\'s go. Let\'s go.
Come on. Quickly, quickly. Come on.

Careful, don\'t trip.
Don\'t trip. Stay low.

All right. Stand over here.

Guys, this is a lockdown. This is not a drill.

Everybody in the closet now!

Stephanie, get with
Coach Williams right now. Let\'s go!

Everybody inside.

Keep down low. Stay together.

It\'s gonna be all right.
Together, we\'re gonna be fine.

Which do you want me to
call first, the news or 911?

News.
The news.

Is there a channel or...

I don\'t care what goddamn
channel. A good one.

Okay.
You tell them I\'m here.

And you tell them
that this is not a joke.

I want a helicopter.

Okay.

I don\'t know the password.
I\'m gonna have to look up the number.

Do it.
Okay.

Is Channel 2 News,
is that okay?

Channel 2 Atlanta.

Hello.
Yes, it\'s very important you stay on the line with me.

Very important.
Just one second.

I have to ask
someone something.

I have Channel 2.
You want to talk to them,

or do you want me to do it?

Want me to do it.

Hello? Yes. My name is
Antoinette Tuff.

I\'m calling from the Ronald E.
McNair Discovery Learning Academy.

Sir, what\'s your name?

Armed gunman.

There\'s an armed gunman
in the front...

You tell them
I want a news helicopter.

Ma\'am, are you okay?

Tell them I want them
to record this, blow by blow.

Tell them everyone in this
building dies today, okay?

Okay, everyone in
this building is gonna die today,

and you tell them
that I\'m serious.

The young man
wants you to know that he is serious,

and he\'s in front of me.

I heard that.

Hang up.
What?

Hang up. Hang up.

Hang up the damn phone!

If I tell you to do something,
you do it. Hang it up!

Bam! Bam!

I\'ll kill them.
Kill the pigs. Kill all the pigs today.

You\'re gonna see
a lot of people die today, lady.

A lot of people die.

Sir, I can call 911 now.

Bang.
Down! Everybody down!

Shooter! Get down!

- Let\'s go. Let\'s go!
- Move! Move!

I got eyes.

Car 541 on location.

We can confirm. Visible
confirmation on the suspect.

He\'s got a weapon.
Maybe an AK-47.

We can confirm the suspect
is armed with an assault rifle.

Still in the area.
Requesting more backup.

If you were on a desert island, and you
had to pick one.

I don\'t like
either of them.

Oh, you like Bo.

Not like that.

Sorry. Sorry for scaring you guys.

Okay, Charlise, Fiona,
we are on lockdown.

Why?

We can talk about why later.
I just...

I need you both to go
and stay close with me, okay?

All units, report to
the north field parking lot

behind the McNair
Discovery Learning Academy.

Mobile command on the way.
Set up triage.

Prepare for casualties
and medical assistance.

All units, report to
the north field parking lot

behind the McNair
Discovery Learning Academy.

Who you calling?

I was calling 911.
I was just waiting for you to come back.

Good!

You tell them if any of those asshole
cops, they come up,

they... Are they on yet?

I was just waiting
for you to tell me what...

Well, then call them!
Okay.

You call them!
Yes, sir.

And you tell them. You just...
You tell them... Uh...

You scared of me?

I suppose I\'m less scared of you than
what you might do.

Sir? Sir?

I need you to come back here
and tell me what to say.

They\'re gonna
hang up on me.

Hang up.
What?

Just do as I say.
Okay.

I want you to tell everyone
in this school to stop moving

and stop running around!

How about if I use the school intercom to
tell everybody that?

Yeah, do it.
To tell them...

Hello? Hello?

Hello, everyone, this is Antoinette Tuff
speaking from the front desk.

An armed intruder
is in our school.

He doesn\'t want any more
movement from anyone.

So please stay as calm

and as quiet as possible.

I\'m sure he\'s just...

Everyone just do what
this man instructs us to do.

You say what
I tell you to say.

You don\'t add nothing
or nothing.

I\'m the boss here.
I\'m in charge.

I was just trying to...

I don\'t give a shit
what you want.

You just tell them
to sit there and wait for me.

Y\'all just sit tight,

nice and quiet.

This will all be over soon.

God bless.

You want me to try 911 again?
I can...

Yeah.

Dial?

Dial.

And you tell them that,

if any of those cops
get any closer towards this building...

They\'re on. They\'re on.

Tell them I\'ll start shooting.

Hello? 911. What\'s your emergency?

Hello, this is Antoinette Tuff

calling from the Ronald E.
McNair Discovery Learning Academy front office,

I would like to relay a
message to the police from a gunman

standing right to the left
in front of me.

The gunman is in the room
with you, ma\'am?

Yes, he is.
She\'s with the gunman.

Got it.

Okay.

It\'s just the two of us here,
and we\'re standing eye-to-eye.

Um... He wants
the cops to know

that if they come into
the school grounds...

Or any closer.

That he\'s going to
start shooting.

And everyone\'s gonna die.

And everyone
is going to die.

Okay.

Drew, patch me through to PD.

Lieutenant Franklin.

Do you see any indication that he\'s
working with somebody?

A partner?
No, ma\'am, I do not.

Hang up now.

And that\'s all.
Antoinette?

Antoinette? I can hear him
in the background.

I need you to
put the phone down and place me on hold.

I\'ll wait for you here.

I\'m sorry.
What is your name? Hang up now.

Kendra. My name is Kendra.

Thank you. Thank you.

All units, fall back
to defensive positions.

All units, fall back...

It\'s almost over, lady.

Antoinette Tuff,
born August 7, 1966.

Two children.
Son, Derrick. Daughter, La Vita.

Started working
as a bookkeeper

in DeKalb County School
District, July 2005.

Says here she did such a good job, the
principal asked her to go with her

to another school.

That was 2008.
Ronald E. McNair. Been there since.

Too bad it doesn\'t
say anything about crisis negotiation.

Hold on.

Thanks. Put him on.

Yeah, stand by.
We\'ve got 911 on the line.

Franklin here. Hey, Benito.

We\'re on with the hostage.
Okay, good.

So you\'re talking to her?

Yeah, I can hear her
with the gunman.

She\'s trying to keep him calm.

The two of them are together?

Yeah. We\'ve got to
get in there. All right.

I\'ll connect you
to the call center ASAP.

All right. Let me know
when you set up the patch.

All right,
I need an ETA on SWAT.

Alert county.
I need a negotiator onsite.

Copy. Get an open line.

I\'m on it.

Go ahead. Go ahead. On me.

Hold! All right!

Come on, now.

Mobile command\'s onsite.
SWAT is five out.

God tells us
to protect the children.

But...

My mom, she didn\'t know
what she was sending us into, you know?

You need to be quiet.

I was 10.

And my mom... Oh, my mom.

She was really sick.
Cancer.

That summer,
she sent me and my brothers

to go stay with my dad
and his new wife in South Carolina.

And we didn\'t
really want to go.

So we got there.

We knocked at the door,

and these two girls answered.

You know, like
stepsisters in Cinderella.

And they just
looked at us like, "Who the hell are you?"

And just slammed
the door in our face.

What?

Got worse from there on.

Sir?

What is it, Sterling?

We got a man
in the parking lot.

Looks like a civilian.

He must\'ve been asleep
in the truck or something.

Looks like he\'s dancing, Lieutenant.

Come again?

Dude is literally dancing.

He\'s heading into the school.

Well, grab him.

Sir, we can\'t grab him.
The shooter said if we get any closer...

I know what he said. Shit.

He\'s got a pass card.

Is he a teacher? Maintenance?

That card is gonna take
the shooter through the whole damn school.

Idiot must
not hear the choppers.

What do we do?

Listen for shots.
Prepare to move.

Hey!

Here for my mail.

Just in case, you know,
something life-changing came in.

My call to greatness.

So where\'s Marie?

Oh! Okay. Whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, okay. Calm, calm...

Shots fired! Shots fired!

Do we have a visual?
Negative!

Oh, my God. Lou.

Oh, my God.
Benito.

Benny. I\'m hearing
in the room again.

Oh, my God.

Please be okay.
Please.

Get up.

Okay. Okay.
Lou, you\'re not shot.

You\'re okay.
Everyone\'s okay.

The man who entered the school
is not wounded.

I don\'t want you here.

Tell Lieutenant Franklin
we\'re live inside.

I want you to go into that
building, and I want you

to tell everyone that
I\'m serious and that this is happening.

Do as he says.

He wants you to leave.
Please leave.

I\'m okay. It\'s okay.

You tell them
that this place is a tomb!

And everybody\'s
gonna die today!

Everybody\'s gonna die!

Train is moving.
Train is moving. Train is moving.

May I go to the bathroom, please?

What?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Where\'s the bathroom?

It\'s right down the hall.

Go ahead.

Okay.

She\'s going to the bathroom.
She can make a break.

We should have
the gunman alone soon.

Are we up?
Yes, sir.

Could we get a patch?

I can wait.

I can wait.

She\'s back in the office.

Oh, what the hell?

I said not to come closer.
I said that, right?

No vehicles, pedestrians,
or bicycles.

Family, staff, and friends,
press, and everyone is sent here.

Got it?
Yes, sir.

They didn\'t believe me.

Mom?

I got your message
yesterday. I don\'t understand.

Could I help you talk to her?

Too late.

I have a boy
right about your age.

I was so excited
about having a baby boy.

We already had a girl,
La Vita.

She\'s engaging him.

I had her when I was 20.

Well, tell her not to.

Tell her just to take care of
herself. Can she...

I can\'t. She can\'t hear me.

Is this woman
trying to engage a man with an AK-47?

Yes. Lieutenant, she\'s just talking
to him, trying to keep him calm.

Well, you tell her that I have
professional negotiators on the way.

Who is she again,
a school counselor?

Her name is Antoinette Tuff.

Are you kidding me? Tuff?

Yes, sir. She\'s the
school bookkeeper.

There\'s a Cool Girls club
at the school for disadvantaged kids.

She\'s the site coordinator.

She owns a private
transportation business

that serves the disabled,
active in her church...

Got two kids.
One\'s in a wheelchair.

And the one thing
I wanted more than anything was a family,

so, when Derrick was born
and the doctors came over,

you know, and they checked 10 fingers, 10
toes, and stuff like that...

You know, when your child\'s born,
you don\'t want to hear no medical words.

His neck was, like, twisted.

I just remember wanting
to scream at those doctors,

"No, he don\'t have
anything like that.

"Stop talking."

One time, when Derrick
was two, he ran towards the living room,

chasing behind his big sister, La Vita.
And we have this glass table there.

And he just ran. Bam.
Crashed right into it.

Not a scratch.

And then, when I put him down, he kept
right on running

like ain\'t nothing happened.

What are you
talking about, lady?

There was something wrong
with his eyes.

By the time Derrick was in sixth grade,
he needed a wheelchair.

The doctor said
he has something called

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease.

And it\'s got nothing
to do with teeth.

It\'s named after
the doctors who discovered the illness.

Shut up.

I told you.
She should just keep quiet.

Shut up.
You think I give a damn about you and your kid?

I\'ve got problems, too,
you know.

Right there!

Go, go, go.

You think
I don\'t see you, huh?

You think I don\'t see you?

I\'ve got nothing to live for.
I don\'t care if I die.

I\'m taking
all y\'all with me.

I get how you feel.
What do you get?

What?

\'Cause your blind kid died
of some screwed-up disease,

you think you
understand how I feel?

You don\'t even know
a little bit, lady.

You watch how
you talk about my family.

You say another word,

and you\'re dead.

Here it goes.

Don\'t get yourself killed, Antoinette.

The gunman,
he\'s at the front door.

He\'s shooting at the police.

He\'s shooting at the police.

Down! Down! Down!

Okay, do you see
a safe place you can run?

He\'s reloading.

Antoinette, you need
to get out of there.

This is your chance.
He\'s distracted now.

I have to go. I have to go.
I\'ll be all right.

I\'ve got to stay
with the kids. I have to go. Bye.

"All night long,
their nets they threw

"to the stars
in the twinkling foam.

"And down from the sky
came a wooden shoe,

"bringing the fishermen home.

"\'Twas, oh,
so pretty a sail, it seemed,

"as if it could not be.

"And some folks thought
\'twas a dream they dreamed

"of sailing
that beautiful sea.

"But I shall name you
the fishermen three,

"Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

"Wynken and Blynken
are two little eyes,

"and Nod is a little head.

"And the wooden shoe
that sailed the skies

"is a wee one\'s trundle bed.

"So shut your eyes

"of the wonderful sights
that be.

"And you shall see
the beautiful things

rocked the fishermen three."

SWAT is on the scene. Lay low.
Do not engage. I repeat, do not engage.

"So shut your eyes

see the beautiful things

"where the old shoe
rocked the fishermen three.

"Wynken, Blynken, and Nod."

He\'s coming back.
I\'m gonna call you back. I\'ll call you back.

I told them. I told them.
I told them not to...

I told them if they
came any closer, I\'d start shooting kids.

Well, why don\'t they know?

You want me
to call 911 and...

You tell them
to stop all movement.

Okay.

Ma\'am,
is everything all right in there?

Hello, 911?

Yes. The gunman
is saying he needs the police to back off.

Okay.

You hearing this, Lieutenant?

Hold your positions.

Roger that.

For now.

You can hang up.

Okay.

Alpha, Bravo! Move out!

Team at the ready, sir.

In this normally quiet,
peaceful neighborhood of Decatur, Georgia,

a lone gunman,
armed with an AK-47,

entered the Ronald E. McNair
Discovery Learning Academy.

According to our affiliate,
there\'s a report of a shooting

at a local Atlanta
elementary school.

An unidentified gunman
opened fire, threatening...

There are reports
shots have been fired.

Turn on the news.

On any channel.

Channel 2.

I\'m the one in the school.

I\'m the shooter guy.

Do you need for me to talk
to them and tell them everything\'s okay?

I shot at the police.
I shot at the police. I shot at the police.

I shot at the police.
Do you want me to call 911?

Tell them to back off?
I should\'ve gone to a hospital.

I should\'ve gone to a hospital
instead of coming here.

I can\'t afford my medication.
You want me to call your mom?

I\'m not on disability.
I can\'t work. I can\'t afford shit.

Maybe she can bring
your medication or...

I\'m sick. I\'m sick. I\'m sick.

Sometimes,
when all seems lost, there\'s still hope.

He didn\'t die.

Who?

Derrick, my son.
You said he was dead.

He didn\'t die.

Again and again,
he faces challenges,

and again and again,
he rises.

That\'s the amazing thing.

We can think
everything is over.

And then...

People gave up on my boy.

They said he was gonna die.

He was gonna be a burden.

He wouldn\'t
amount to anything.

But he\'s a good young man.

He went to college.

Got himself a girl.

There\'s a place for everybody.

No place for me.

There\'s a place for everybody.

Activating your units?
What the hell were you thinking?

He fired his weapon
on your men and you called a retreat?

In what universe is that acceptable? This
is a hostage situation.

There\'s no way we\'re firing into a
building filled with children!

He fires on us again,
we will shoot back.

My mind went bad.

Bipolar and stuff.

Brother used to call
my bathroom a drugstore.

One time,

I almost burned
the house down.

I didn\'t mean to, but...

Nobody believed me.

This other time,

my mom was sleeping.

I was standing over her,

is what they said,

holding a knife.

Mom took every last knife
out of the house

and hid them
in the trunk of her car.

She was trying to protect you.

I doubt it.

Sometimes, La Vita,

she would say
I pushed her too hard.

But I didn\'t
finish high school.

Really?
Yeah.

Not many people on
my mother or my father\'s side

are what you
would call successful.

So I figure

La Vita and Derrick
were facing

a generational curse.

My children were gonna
break that curse.

And she\'s a real
fancy lawyer now.

Bet you\'re a real good mom.

I try to be.

With a nice life,

that her husband and kids
are real proud of.

You and me
ain\'t nothing alike.

We ain\'t nothing alike,
and you don\'t know me.

My life,

it\'s not as perfect
as you think.

A few weeks after
La Vita was born,

Terry, he got
down on one knee,

and he gave me
this tiny little engagement ring.

He got the money
from his driving jobs.

My daddy left my mama
when I was two, so...

A man loving me like Terry?

I didn\'t care

if the ring didn\'t
fit my finger.

I didn\'t care
if there was no ring at all.

Terry was supposed to take it back to the
jewelry store and get it sized.

So, like, a week passed,
a month, then two months.

And every time I would ask him
about it, he would say,

"Oh, you know,
he\'s working on it," or he was busy.

This or that.

So, one Sunday, I decided to go to his
family church rather than my mom\'s.

I never go to his church.

It was the first time
I ever set foot in his family church.

So I had my baby La Vita
with me, and I walked into the church,

and I noticed that people
in the congregation,

you know, they were
looking at me a little funny,

but I ain\'t pay it
no attention.

And, you know, I\'m singing on
the choir Sunday morning.

And I look at one of the other
choir members, and I...

I see a girl.
She\'s about my age.

I looked down at her,
and I see, you know, she\'s wearing

a little engagement ring.

It was my engagement ring.

My engagement ring.

Terry had proposed
to her, too. He was engaged to both of us.

What?

Can you believe that?

I don\'t get it.
You married him anyway?

I loved him.

I loved him
more than I loved myself.

My mom says

that finding a good man in Georgia is
like finding bread in a hardware store.

That\'s kind of true.

I tried.

No, I really tried.

It says right there
in Proverbs.

Thirty-first chapter,

10th and the 12th verse.

"An excellent wife is far more
precious than jewels."

You know the whole Bible
by heart or something?

No. I know a lot of it.

What\'s she doing?

Just talking to him like a person,
showing him a little kindness.

I used to take
Terry to the store,

buy him some clothes

because he needed them
for church.

And, one day, out of the blue,
he just came to me and said,

"Okay, I\'m having an affair."

That\'s what he said to me.

Terry had heart problems.

He had surgery.

Some days were so bad
he couldn\'t even get out the bed.

He couldn\'t even go to work.

But I got up every morning
at 6:00 a.m. to take care of him,

Derrick, and La Vita.

Isn\'t that simple exchange
between a man and his wife important?

Those little things you do
for people you love.

A thousand moments
just like that.

I was confused,

angry, ashamed.

I felt less than human,
you know?

What kind of woman let another
woman come into her life

and just take her man?

What kind of woman
can\'t keep her man?

He shouldn\'t have
done that to you.

He kept saying,
"Oh, it\'s gonna be okay.

"Antoinette, it\'s gonna be okay."

It\'s not okay.

I had no control
over anything.

"You\'ll survive this.
She wouldn\'t.

"Oh, Antoinette, you\'re strong. You\'re
gonna get over this."

I felt so stupid.

So stupid.

I tried to get a gun

New Year\'s Eve last year.

Right after Terry left me.

I asked a friend
to help me buy a gun.

But he wouldn\'t.

New Year\'s Eve sucks.

Everyone\'s all out
and yelling, fireworks, getting drunk.

Next day, it\'s all the same.

I was parked along
Wesley Chapel Road.

I was just sitting in my car,

watching the Fords
and the Chevys and the SUV barrel past.

People rushing home to
be with their children, their partners,

anxious to get back
to their real lives.

Me?

I didn\'t have no life.

Not without Terry.

At least, that\'s what
I believed in my heart.

I got out the car,

and I walked to the side of
Wesley Chapel Road, and I just...

I just stood there.

Just tired

of all the lies,

all the back and forth,

all the desperation,
trying to get somebody to love me.

My dad, Terry...

I just wanted it all to end.

I remember

I took one step forward
and another one,

and all I had to do was
just take two more steps,

and it\'d have all been over.

Tried to kill myself
too many times to count.

Why didn\'t you do it?

I don\'t know.

I just couldn\'t do that
to my kids.

What\'s your name?

It doesn\'t matter.

You can go if you want.

You don\'t have
to be nice to me.

You can go,
and I won\'t stop you.

You don\'t have
to do this, son.

I ain\'t your son.

You said you weren\'t
supposed to be here. I heard you say that.

I\'m here. I\'m where
I\'m supposed to be.

Police and SWAT units
are in the process of surrounding

the McNair Discovery
Learning Academy

while a lone gunman
continues to threaten

the lives of students, teachers...

An armed gunman has gained entrance and
barricaded himself in the school.

Authorities at this hour
will not confirm or deny early reports...

Shock and horror
are the only way to describe

another community under siege,
and more school-aged children...

"Intruder alert,"
"hostage situation," "elementary school"

are becoming
all-too-familiar monikers

when describing
a new epidemic.

Children taken hostage.
Images come to mind of Columbine

and Newtown
that we hope we never...

The students at
McNair Discovery Learning Academy,

an elementary school
near Atlanta in DeKalb County,

unfortunately, now,
the latest victims.

Kendra?
Hello?

Hello, Kendra?
Yes, ma\'am. Yes, I\'m here.

He\'s headed towards
the front door. He\'s...

Okay, remain calm
and stay on the phone, okay?

Tell them not to fire back.

He\'s just a confused kid.
I can talk to him.

That is not
your job here, okay?

The police can
take care of this. You need to be safe.

Those children
need to be safe.

Now, if you can find somewhere
to run, now is your time.

I can\'t leave him.

Antoinette?

Mmm-mmm.

We all have a purpose.
I suppose this is mine.

Please, come on. Come back.

Come on, babe. Come back.

Come on back in here.
Please, come...

He\'s unloading!

Go, go, go!

Are you still there?

Stop shooting!
Tell them to stop shooting.

Antoinette, I\'m still here.

Ahhh!

Oh, my God.

Hello? Hello?

Antoinette,
are you still there?

I\'m gonna take
care of this boy.

What? No. Antoinette.

She\'s going up to him.

We got the hostage
approaching the gunman.

Son, you\'ve got to stop.
You\'ve got to stop shooting, okay?

Those bullets ain\'t got no names on it.
They don\'t care who they kill.

I should\'ve...
I should\'ve gone to a hospital...

Nobody\'s gonna die today.
I\'m not right in the head.

I\'m not right in the head.
I\'m sick.

I shot at the cops,
and they hate me now.

Commander?
Let me know when you\'ve got him.

I have eyes.
He\'s winged, left arm.

The hostage is with him.

Wait. What\'s that?

Benito, come again.
What\'s that?

She\'s gone back to the boy.

Have your men stand down.
He\'s got a civilian with him.

Repeat, civilian at risk.
Hold your position.

I still got a shot.

This is Lieutenant Franklin.
I direct all units to stand down!

This is my show.

Okay, you didn\'t hurt nobody.
You don\'t know that.

You hear an ambulance?
Here, let me see.

Let me see. Let me look.

Okay. Okay.

You want me to call 911?

I can see
if anyone was hurt, okay?

Yeah.
Okay. Okay. Okay.

Hello? Kendra.
I\'m here.

Can you... We need to know
if the gunman\'s hurt anyone.

Okay. All right. Hold on.
I\'m gonna ask.

Okay, she\'s checking.
She\'s checking.

You\'ve got to tell them
to back up.

Can you please
tell the officers to back up, please?

Okay, I\'ll tell them.

It\'s okay.
That\'s a lot of blood.

They\'re gonna
stitch you right up.

Hospital gonna stitch
that right up. Don\'t worry about it.

Okay, ma\'am?
Kendra?

No one was injured.

Okay, there were no injuries.
You see? No injuries.

I don\'t want to hurt kids.
I don\'t want to hurt any kids.

Okay, the police checked.
I didn\'t wanna kill the kids.

I know. He said he...
I like kids.

I know. He didn\'t want
to hurt the kids.

Can you hear me?

Okay, she\'s telling them
right now. She\'s telling them.

I should shoot myself
right now.

Hold my hand. Come on.
Hold my hand. I should just shoot myself.

What? Don\'t get overwhelmed.

I should shoot myself
right now.

Okay, he says he didn\'t
want to hurt any of the children.

Please, don\'t do this.
Please don\'t.

I should kill myself
right now! No, please!

You don\'t know what it\'s like.
You don\'t know what it\'s like.

Please, put the gun down.
Please, put the gun down.

I should pull the trigger
and put a bullet in my brain.

No one would give a shit!

All right. Okay.
What\'s your name?

Stop asking me that!

Listen. Listen to me.

I know how you feel. I came...

I came to work this morning.
I was at my desk,

and I wanted to kill myself,
too, you know?

The bank called.
They\'re taking my house.

I\'ve got a little business.
They want to take that, my car.

There\'s just so many bills.
So many bills.

Derrick, he was just in the
hospital. He almost died.

Terry was supposed
to be there, too.

They said that
I\'ve got to come up with $14,000.

The bank said I have to
come up with $14,000.

Where the hell am I gonna
come up with $14,000?

The Bible tells us,
"Be steadfast, unmovable."

We need each other.

Now, listen to me.

As bad as it seems
right now,

we can\'t see
what the future has in store, you know?

This morning,
I was sitting in my office.

I was asking the Lord...
I was like,

"Lord, why would you
do this to me?

"Why I got to go through this
all the time?

"Why me?"

It was all for this.

For this moment right here
with you and me.

This is where
he was taking us.

Right here, right now.

We\'re gonna make it
out of this together.

You hear me?

Okay, okay, how about this?

How about...

How about we
walk out of here arm in arm?

You\'ve got me. I\'ve got you.
I\'ll keep you safe.

Yeah?

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Hello, Kendra?

Will you ask the police
if I can walk out of this building

with this young man,
side by side?

He would like to
negotiate a surrender.

Okay, okay, hold on. Let me...
Let me ask.

I am locked on the target.
Repeat, I am locked on the target.

Awaiting go.

Commander?
Can I have the go-ahead?

Tell everyone I\'m sorry.

And, uh...

You can use
that speaker thing.

I didn\'t want to scare kids.

Kendra?

He wants me to go on the school intercom
and tell everyone he\'s sorry.

Okay.

That\'s good.

Okay.

Hello, everyone.

This is Antoinette Tuff,

again.

The intruder
who came into our school,

he wants to tell you all
that he\'s very sorry for frightening you.

He wanted you all to know
that he didn\'t mean any harm.

We all go
through difficult times.

Everybody, go out that door as
safely as you possibly can. Go, go, go.

He\'s having
one of those times.

It\'s how we handle these times
that define who we are.

He just wanted to let you all
know he\'s sorry.

This way. Come on.

All right. Hurry up now.
Come on, guys.

Is it over?

We would\'ve gotten word.

Sir, we\'re seeing kids
being escorted out.

How we doing?

Hold your position.
We\'re working on it.

Roger that.

I\'ve been to this school once

with a band.

I played the drums.

Really?

Called The Inner Dreams.

Wait a minute.

I remember you guys.

Y\'all had on red,
like, matching shirts.

You were playing
the drums together.

I remember.

Y\'all sounded good.
Really good.

Thank you.

Maybe we don\'t
have to go out there.

You know, you can call them
and tell them...

You need to tell them
I\'ll put my gun on the counter,

and I\'ll lay down
with my hands behind my back or...

They can come in.

Would you just stay
and watch me?

Sure, I will.

Did you hear that, Kendra?

Could you hear
this young man?

Yes, ma\'am. I heard him.

All right. We got a deal.

Our man\'s giving himself up.
Keep your eyes on him.

Roger that.

My B and C
can move up the corridor.

I\'m gonna keep snipers hot,
just in case.

Okay. Tell him they said okay.

They said okay.

Cops are liars.

Okay, so what
do you want to do with your weapon?

Do you want to put it
right here, on the counter in front of me?

Kendra, would it be okay
if he did that?

Tell him, yes,
he can do that.

They said yes.
You can do that.

Great.

Tell him it\'s on his call.

They\'ll come in
when you\'re set.

Hey...

This is a good thing,
what you\'re doing.

Okay, the gunman
is down on his knees,

and he\'s put his gun
on the counter.

He got up again. He got up.

Can I have the go-ahead?

Don\'t shoot.

Tell them do not shoot.

It\'s a cell phone.

Keep him in your sights.

The cell phone might control
an explosive device.

Hi, Mom.

I\'m turning myself in.
I just wanted to let you know.

Okay. Now, he cannot have that
phone when they come in that room.

The police says you
cannot have that cell phone

anywhere near you
when they come in.

I\'ve still got the shot.

You ready?

He\'s ready.

My name is Michael Hill.

Thank you, Michael Hill.

It\'s a really good thing
you\'re doing.

Sometimes,

our purpose in life
is just to surrender.

This is God\'s plan right here.

You and me, just guiding each other
through this moment,

together.

I want you to know I love you,
and I\'m proud of you, Michael.

- Don\'t move!
- Stay down!

Stay on the ground!
Hands behind his back.

Watch his hands!
Hands where we can see them.

Hurry, hurry.
Check the gun.

Stay on the floor.

Let\'s go. Go.

Other hand.
You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

You have the right
to an attorney.

Antoinette? Antoinette,
are you still there?

Hello?

Oh, baby. I ain\'t never been
so scared all the days of my life.

Me, either.
But you did great.

Ms. Tuff, are you okay?
Oh, boy.

Yes, ma\'am.

I don\'t know. Wait.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

You did great.

What\'s going on over there?

One of the dogs got a hit on
something in the gunman\'s car.

That\'s my car,
the one parked next to his.

I\'ve got him from here.

Thank you.

Mommy!
Dad!

Hey!

Mama!
Mama! Mommy! Mama!

I\'m okay.

Are you okay?
I\'m all right.

We\'re all okay. I\'m okay.

Oh, my God.

We missed you.

I love you!

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Lord. We\'re okay.

We\'re all okay.

We\'re okay, babies.

Oh, thank you, Lord.

God is real.
It wasn\'t me.

It wasn\'t nothing that I did
that was so special.

I feel like I helped
somebody in need,

that God was able to use me.

I was terrified,
but I just started praying,

knowing that, if I got as hysterical as I
was on the inside on the outside,

that he would
wind up panicking.

At one point, I just started
feeling sorry for him.

You know, he should\'ve went
to the hospital,

and, you know, he hadn\'t taken
his medicine in a while.

So I knew that I wasn\'t
actually speaking to someone

that was in their
right state of mind.

And I knew that
I could help somebody.

Somebody...
God sent people, my pastor,

and people
and friends and family

in my path to help me through.

And I knew,
at that point in time,

that he needed me,
and I was the only person there.

Will you just say to me one more time,
"Baby, everything\'s gonna be okay?"

Baby, everything\'s gonna
be okay.

Thank you so much.

You are so welcome.
You are so welcome.
