The Henderson Police Department would not answer questions from The Salt Lake Tribune, including how many times the child was shot.Īn obituary for Diana Hawatmeh says she was a fitness instructor in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. The officers who fired their weapons are on paid administrative leave while the shooting is being investigated, which is standard practice. While officers were searching for a shooter, Bourne called the police and identified himself. “Someone is inside, and she’s screaming for help,” the caller said. While she was on the phone, she spotted a third, dead woman in the apartment building. The woman who called police said she heard someone else inside the apartment calling for help, but wasn’t sure if it was safe to go inside.
A crying woman told dispatchers she heard gunshots in her apartment building, and when she went next door, she found a woman lying in the doorway, bleeding from the head. The recently released video also includes the 911 call that first alerted police. Police say they tried to provide medical aid to the child, but he died from his injuries.
It was not clear from body camera footage who fired first, but police say Bourne fired “multiple rounds” inside the car and the child died because of “injuries inflicted by Bourne.” Bourne was dead when police got to the car. Seven officers opened fire on the vehicle in response. But police say he instead pointed a gun at the child’s head. Officers tracked Bourne and the child to a vehicle in a nearby parking lot, where police surrounded his car and tried to get him to roll down his window and talk to them. Police said that Bourne and the 12-year-old boy left the apartment after the initial shooting, but the circumstances surrounding their departure were not detailed in the police video. Police have not given a motive for the killings, but said Bourne had a “brief interaction” with the victims before he forced his way into the apartment and started firing. Another woman, Veronica Muniz, was also killed. Her 16-year-old daughter, Yasmeen, was critically injured. The audio recording was part of a 17-minute video briefing released by police officials last week that shed new light on the shooting that killed Utahn Diana Hawatmeh and her 12-year-old son, Joseph. Police say Bourne made that call just before he shot the boy Nov. “If you get your address wrong, I have to kill you.” “I’m not going to hurt you as long as you don’t get your address wrong,” Bourne tells the boy, according to a recording.
