MOBILE, Alabama --

Video shows Lawrence Wallace Junior hours before he fatally stabbed the police officer. Handcuffed with his arms behind his back, Wallace is very talkative, playing to the news cameras. It's as though he's enjoying telling us what he's getting ready to do.

News 5 has shared this video with Mobile police, when we slow it down, Wallace appears to fold the pendant and slide something out of it and slip it in between his fingers. This is what he says afterward, "I'll be out before I reach down there."

After he gets in the back of the police car, and the door shuts. He smiles for the cameras. Still running his mouth he says, I'll see y'all in a minute. This is all part of the movie man. I'll see y'all in a minute".

What we didn't know about this movie as he smugly called it was the officer you see to the left opening the door to the police car, would be victim to his deadly plot; officer Steven Green.

Wallace stabbed officer green inside the sally port of metro jail. One witness says he never even saw the weapon.

Armed with a gun Wallace took off for a neighborhood off Dauphin Island parkway in the officer's car. He ran underneath this house on Daytona drive. Where she shot a second officer. After holding sharpshooters, tactical units, and swat team members at bay for three and a half hours, Wallace's movie came to silent end, with him in a body bag, and the community with one less officer to serve and protect.


Are You Ready ?

CUPERTINO, Calif. — Authorities went door to door with guns drawn Wednesday in search of a disgruntled employee they say opened fire at a Northern California limestone quarry, killing two and wounding six, before possibly wounding another woman in an attempted carjacking.
Schools were on lockdown or closed in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino as SWAT teams sought Shareef Allman, 47. Allman was at a routine safety meeting at the quarry at about 4:30 a.m. when he became disgruntled and left, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Lt. Rick Sung said. He then returned with a handgun and rifle and started shooting people, Sung said. Authorities were still searching the quarry for possible victims. About 15 workers were evacuated and being kept at a safe location. "He is armed and dangerous and on the loose," sheriff's spokesman Jose Cardoza said.
Around 7 a.m., authorities received a 911 call that a woman was shot in an attempted carjacking near Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Cupertino campus by a man matching Allman's description. The shooter then fled on foot. He used a weapon similar to the gun used in the quarry shooting, Cardoza said. Allman was a truck operator at the Permanente Quarry and also produced and hosted a public access television show.

The FBI -Miami Shootout

On the 25th anniversary of one of the most studied gunfights involving law enforcement officers, the FBI honored the agents who battled it out with two determined felons during a vehicle stop gone bad in a southern Miami neighborhood.

During a ceremony today, FBI Director Robert Mueller called April 11, 1986, "a day of unthinkable violence, darkness, and loss. Yet it was also a day of courage, selflessness, and sacrifice. [It was] a day that reflected the best of the bureau, even as it exemplified the worst of what we confront."

Former Director William Webster, who led the agency at the time; Special Agent John Hanlon; and several hundred law enforcement supporters also attended Monday's event.

The incident began as a surveillance operation, as federal agents on a rolling stakeout searched for a stolen black 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo being driven by Michael Lee Platt and William Matix. Platt, an Army Ranger, and Matix, an Army MP of the 101st Airborne, had committed a series of violent robberies and several murders.
