3 Dispatchers Suspended

Prince George’s County (Md.) officials have put three dispatchers on paid leave while they investigate how they handled a 911 call from a man who was shot and killed shortly after hanging up. Raymond Brown, 36, dialed 911 about 2 a.m. to report his car was being towed from his home, and two dispatchers and a supervisor assummed it was being repossessed, police admit, and told Brown to call back later. Brown hung up, but followed the tow truck in another vehicle, and was then shot and killed by someone in the truck, police say. Police are still investigating the murder, and say their internal investigation might take a week to complete.
