(<NATS>This was the first of six calls that the operator received, all from neighbors of Newton and Donna Satahoo. Donna is heard in the background, terrified, crying "murder, murder." A couple of minutes into the call, the police arrive and apparently find Newton Satahoo attacking his wife with a knife.On the tape, the officers are heard ordering Satahoo six times to drop the knife. Then, two shots, about a second and a half apart.<SOT ...drop the knife."> Donna Satahoo later complained that the police failed to negotiate before killing her husband and she insisted that he did not have a knife. Police say...he did indeed have a knife...and she was treated for stab wounds. L/O)
