According to WFAA, 65-year-old Jamie said, �[The suspect] kept saying, �Where is the safe?� and I would say, �I don�t have the safe� and he would press [the gun] into my head.�
He called police when the suspect left his bedroom, and police arrived one hour and twenty-seven minutes later.
Jamie�s call is what the Dallas Police Department labels a �Priority 2� call. Such calls are currently �being answered in about 22 minutes,� but Officer Nick Novello said, �In many instances, Priority 2 calls can be held for 30 minutes or up to three or four hours.� The response time for Jamie fell right between Dallas PD�s 22 minute norm and the four hours to which Novello alluded. |

| I would hate to be in a Priority 3 or 4 911 call. The cops would probably show up in 24 to 48 hours, or just send you the paperwork to complete. Me, it would be "Where is 'Bang! the safe" |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. � Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
