Really? You can't intervene if you aren't carrying a weapon? With that mindset you probably shouldn't carry one to begin with.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A man was arrested Thursday afternoon on charges of kidnapping, robbery and assault after he allegedly held an 11-year-old boy hostage at knifepoint Downtown. Anchorage police credit citizens with disarming the man during the standoff.

“Mr. Katchatag held the knife at the boy’s throat and ordered the boy’s mother to hand over her bags, or he would kill the boy,” Myren wrote in a Friday statement on the incident. “Several citizens responded to Katchatag’s actions and were able to disarm and hold onto him until he was taken into custody.”

I've seen to many brains splattered everywhere in real life...I'm glad they didn't release that kind of video footage.

That police captain did the right thing, he definitely saved that child's life. You have to wonder though, what would have happened if this guy had started his countdown before the police arrived.

LOL!

Give it up for the professionalism of the Police Officer. I don't know how he managed to wait so long. Good job; and the MWC Police Chief made very appropriate comments to the press too. :thumbup3:[

I could not agree more. If the first and only way you can think of to resolve this situation is a gun you should rethink a few things.

I don't agree. If a guy has a knife to my kids neck, my gun will be out. Why do we carry if we are not going to protect the life of family. I'm not looking for a fair fight with a guy with a knife, I'm going to save my kid at any cost.

Not the only way but if that is my daughter, he has about 5 seconds to let her go at my demand before he takes a dirt nap. Sorry, not gambling with my child's life.
