Assignment:
You are a patrol officer who interrupts a robbery in progress at a local convenient store. You exchange gunfire with the two suspects, but no one is injured. The two suspects barricade themselves in the store with the clerk and one customer. They demand the police provide them with a vehicle so they can escape or they will kill the clerk and the customer.
Discuss why this is a hostage or non-hostage incident and what could be done to make this a negotiable incident.
