Edmonton hostage recalls ordeal - News - MSN CA: "Like the gunman, Morrow is a client of the compensation board, recovering from a shoulder injury. This helped build a bond, Morrow said.
'I used everything that I could just to build a rapport with him. Even the cigarettes in the beginning, I think it helped.'
Over the course of the day, hostages were released for health reasons or simply allowed to go to the washroom, from which they didn't return. Police negotiators also provided water, sandwiches and cigarettes, in exchange for the release of others being held. In the end, only Morrow and the gunman remained.
'We did have a handful of cigarettes there, and they were pretty much the clock,' Morrow said. 'The cigarettes were the clock at that point, and when the last one was done, I was hoping he was going to keep his word and walk out with me.'
'Nobody was going to die today'
'I was going to exit first,' Morrow said of the strategy that police and the gunman agreed to. 'They were really worried how it was going to end too. He was to leave the rifle on the table, and when I turned my back and walked out, I kept my ear on that rifle.'
Earlier, Morrow said, he had made the gunman a promise — 'that I would walk out of here with him, and nobody was going to die today.
'Just before I gave him a big hug I just wanted to make sure I could keep walking, get the hell out of there.'"
sorry for the continued sage info but i can't resist
then i read that he was an abusive drug addict
and now i can't decide
if i feel sorry for him or not
maybe he is a shmuck
