Escambia County SWAT assists Ronnie Clark break long history of criminal activity (thrilling drone FMV)
[Breitbart] Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons held a press conference Monday in which he showed video of a SWAT team member shooting a 58-year-old alleged hostage taker who was armed with a knife.
The alleged hostage taker, 53-year-old Ronnie Clark, had "58 felony convictions," FOX News reported. Deputies found "him in a tent with a woman being held against her will" about 5 p.m. Sunday.
A five-hour standoff ensued, with negotiators trying to get Clark to release the woman. But Clark was allegedly holding a knife to the woman’s throat and ignored police requests.
Sheriff Simmons noted, "This tough guy has got her as a human shield."
Video taken by a police drone showed deputies close in on Clark and a muzzle flash is evident when one of the SWAT team members takes Clark out.
ABC WEAR 3 published the video:
