I am still not sure why the guys in the hall held up and did not enter. Here, with my agency we would not have hesitated to make entry and deal with the issue. There must have been a different dymanmic in place to induce the long pause in the hallway. Still very confusing to me, I cannot wrap my head around that mess. Our response only changes if the suspect is alone and isolated. Other wise if there is anyone nearby that the suspect could harm or has harmed then, the bad guy will be neutralized. The end.
