Homicide Call: 2 Dead, 2 Wounded

When Hernando County (Fla.) sheriff’s dispatcher Milagros Ramos answered a 911 on Jan. 21st, she quickly connected with the caller, who was reporting that four persons had been shot. A dispute led John Kalisz to shoot his sister Kathryn and two employees at her home-based business. The sister and one employee didn’t survive. One of the women was pregnent, and her baby also did not survive. But another woman dialed 911 and spoke to Ramos, who reassured the woman during an emotional 8-minute call that help was on the way. “I felt like I was there with her,” Ramos told a reporter. “I was really afraid for her. It felt like a long time for me, too.” Deputies responded immediately but took nearly eight minutes to arrive at the house. Kalisz sped away and was chased across four counties by deputies. He shot and killed a sheriff’s deputy in an adjacent county two hours later before he was captured. Read more and listen to the extraordinary 911 call here.
