Dispatcher Called A Hero, Suicide Prevented

Milwaukee (Wisc.) police dispatcher Keena Woods-Smith fielded a call last Sunday from a woman who reported her boyfriend had a gun to her head and was threatening to shoot himself. Woods-Smith used the “I” word repeatedly to connect with the man, and eventually he put the gun down. She modestly said she wasn’t the hero, and that she was proud of the man for doing the right thing.
