Caller Asked to Investigate

Elyria police are investigating how a 911 call was handled, during which the dispatcher asked the 17 year-old caller to leave the phone and go track down a blood-covered man who the caller said was acting crazy inside the apartment building. The caller asked the dispatcher if he should stay in his apartment with the door locked. But the unnamed dispatcher told him, “Go get him,” apparently believing the man was a victim. The teen said he followed the dispatcher’s instructions and went back out into the hallway to find the man. Now the teen’s mother has complained to police that they put her son in jeopardy. Police arrived, found the man and arrested him for shooting his girlfriend to death. Read the entire story here.
