An officer responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle.  He called for back up, there were at least two people in the vehicle.  Two officers responded as back up and one suspect shot two of the officers in the head, they died soon afterwards.  The third officer was not injured, the suspect fled. 

Suspicious vehicles are an unknown trouble call.  Anything can happen.  A suspicious vehicle can be an abandoned stolen car.  It can be someone waiting to pick up her husband when he gets off work.  It can be a couple having sex in the car, a couple of teenagers drinking alcohol, it can be a car bomb, or a major drug deal going down.

When you have multiple suspects, split them up and interview them one at a time.  The same person should interview them all and the other officers should perform security by watching the other suspects and watching the surrounding area.  Watch the suspects hands, pat them down if you have probable cause or permission.  Don't just chit chat with the other officers because the persons contacted seem young, or non-threatening; that's what the SGT Says.
