Denver 911 Apologizes for Deadly Instructions

A Denver man who called 911 to report a threatening road-rage encounter reluctantly followed a 911 dispatcher's order to return to the scene of the crime, where he was fatally shot while waiting for police.

Jimma Reat, a 26-year-old immigrant from Sudan, was traveling with his brother, cousin, and other passengers early Sunday morning, when a road-rage incident occurred at around 4 a.m., according to ABC affiliate KMGH.

Reat's cousin, Ran Pal, called 911 and reported that the occupants of a red Jeep had thrown bottles at their car, breaking the windows and threatening the people in the car, according to the report. Denver police confirmed the report but have not publicly released the name of the caller.

Reat, Pal and the others in the car had left Denver and were traveling home when they were instructed by the 911 dispatcher to return to within Denver's borders in order to receive police assistance, according to Denver police.

The group traveled back to Denver to wait for police assistance, but were fired upon by the occupants of the Jeep, which had arrived at the same part of the city, police said.

According to the Denver Post, the 911 dispatcher and Reat argued about the instruction to return to the scene of the altercation, with the dispatcher threatening to withhold police assistance unless Reat drove back to Denver.

"The call transpired very quickly," Carl Simpson, executive director of Denver 911, told ABC affiliate KMGH. "It got sideways very quickly. I am deeply saddened by the events that transpired. This call left me very saddened for the family."

Of the dispatcher, Simpson said, "I do know he didn't follow procedures."

There does seem to be an uptick in shootings.

A few weeks back I was at Cabelas (Outdoor store) and there was a two hour line to pick up guns. They were passing out water and snacks because the lines were so long. I asked if it was normal and they said it's typical for a Saturday. This is just outside Chicago, so not really redneck country and there were all types standing in line. From hipsters in skinny jeans to old ladies and every nationality you can think of.

If you check the FBI background check numbers, they are setting records month after month. America is totally going gun crazy.

Because they know Obama is going to be re-elected and he will have no incentive to not fuck with gun laws.

9 people have been shot within a 2 block radius of my building alone within the past year There is definitely something brewing out there. Granted I live in a known bad area, but it hasn't hit these levels since crack was the cool thing to do... even then I don't think we've had this much shootings so clustered together like this.

I know the NYPD got caught smuggling in guns last year, but there's something bigger going on out here.

That might be a factor for some people.

But anyone who follows politics understands that the Democratic party gave up on gun control years ago on a national level. Even on a state level most don't even touch it anymore. Only a few big city mayors talk openly about gun control anymore.

Obama has ZERO interest in passing gun control laws.

who would have guessed the bottoming out of the middle class and the glorification of violence and guns as normal ways to deal with this new economic and political reality would lead to an escalation in gun violence?

This is why you don't leave Sudan, Denver should take note of how things are done in Darfur and get with the program.

Not even... the drug dealers are mad. These are a bunch of kids running around shooting each other for what seems like nothing, making everything hot.
