Woman surrenders after threatening to jump off roof in Northeast Dallas

Police were called to 4800 Alcott Street on Wednesday around noon for reports of a man shot. Neighbors said the man was heard arguing with a woman inside a dark-colored Jeep Wrangler.

“I don’t know if they lived in this area or not, but I hadn’t seen that vehicle before,” Emily Thorton, who lives in an apartment complex nearby. According to police, the suspect took off from the area and was able to access the roof of Thorton’s building. A witness recorded cell phone video of the moment the suspect darts out of the driver’s seat of the vehicle. The woman was spotted wearing a red sweatshirt, grey sweatpants and black socks. Police later found that sweatshirt on the ground. The same video shows a man in a short-sleeved t-shirt sitting against a tree. The man is heard shouting for 9-1-1 as he waves someone down for help.Police said the suspect was later located on the roof and threatened to jump.

After more than three hours of negotiations, authorities were able to convince the suspect to surrender. Dallas Fire Department was on the scene and helped bring the woman down in the bucket truck.Health & Wellness
