Call Russ Ewing

“The police had surrounded the house. They had been there for quite
a while. They didn’t want to try to rush the house because they
thought he might kill one of the innocent people. But after waiting
for a long time, I asked the police: ‘Let me see if I can talk to
the guy.’” For decades, TV news reporter Russ Ewing stood beside
more than 100 people — at their request — as they surrendered to
the police. Thanks to CBC Licensing. This episode was originally
