New body cam video: Hostage standoff

Tulsa officers responded to the apartment near 21st and Olympia when the victim called 911. She said Forrest was holding her hostage.

That call turned into a standoff lasting several hours. New footage shows officers trying to engage with Forrest and persuade him to surrender.

"Scott, you need to come out here with nothing in your hands and talk to us before this gets worse," one officer told Forrest. "We need to have a conversation, Scott. Nothing in your hands and you'll be safe."

Within seconds, TPD said Forrest fired from inside the apartment. One round hits a shield, another sends debris into an officer's face.

The hostage told officers that Forrest had a gun to her face. Officers then reassessed their approach.

Several hours later, Forrest appeared in a window with a pistol, prompting special operations to shoot him.

The hostage was not harmed, and Forrest died at the scene.
