I’d be very surprised if it turns out she was being held hostage very long. I think he killed her early on & probably even killed himself hours before the police broke in.
That could very well be true. But how does it not escalate the shit out of the situation to bring in a massive military-style SWAT team? There was intelligence on the ground -- the 5-ish folks that had been released. They could tell the cops exactly where the hostage and the perp were located in the building. With that knowledge, it wouldn't seem difficult to undertake a plan to eliminate the perp out in a less subtle way.

I'm no police hater, but what exactly is the mission/optimum outcome in this situation? What did APD do to work towards that goal?

I think those were media members, not family members.
My apologies. The Reddit thread identified those folks as being employees of the medical practice. IDK for sure, but it certainly makes more sense than random media folks being upset about the news. Fucking sad in any event.

IDK, but the reaction was a way bit real.

Listen to the family member's live and emotional reaction to first being informed of her death on live video. Fuck APD.

wait so it took them 3 hours to figure out everyone was already dead before kicking in the door?
Yep. The KXAN twitter feed had video of the negotiator commenting about how they hadn't heard from anybody inside for several hours.

Austin APD SWAT was apparently negotiating (using their cutting edge tactics and training) with dead people for the last three hours or so.
And you've got to think that all the local TV news producers are pissed that the story didn't get resolved in time to make the 10 pm news shows tonight!

It looks to be over based upon the KXAN reporter's tweets:

Reddit says something big just went down. Blasts and such.

Just based on the report that the negotiator was referring to the perp as Dr. Her husband is a plastic surgeon.
Good point.

That wasn't the name removed from the Reddit thread. Who knows?

I’m fine with various soaks. Even trying an ice water dip. But lord do I hate the trend of pouring seasoning all over the outside of the crawfish, and even worse, it’s often done in lieu of seasoning the boil water.I do them the same way I do shrimp and crab. Boil 'em in heavily seasoned water until just done and then add enough ice to cool off the boil, stop the cooking, and let them season up. Maybe chill for an hour or more before eating.

The other doc. Allegedly.
That was the name deleted from the Reddit thread posting.

Reddit thread just removed the name of the Dr. allegedly held hostage.

wait. dinner for two and you wanted to keep it under $500?
It wasn't an anniversary or anything, just a downtown night free from parenthood. Immamac and bride were just slumming a bit. Shaggy 1%.

I did that on a horribly diseased buck a few years ago. Showed a pic to Mike Leggett, the Austin American-Statesman hunting writer. He told me that he would have done the same thing in a heartbeat, and while not supported by the details of the law, he didn't think that any game warden would have had any issue with what I did.

Chill, y'all. 10-2 isn't a bad place to be.

Hostage Situation - 1900 Block of West 35th Street (Jackson Ave.) Near Mopac
in Daily Texan
Posted
Tragic situation. Quote taken out of context, I'm simply dubious about the militarized SWAT team approach to such incidents, but I'll play along with you.
Use the intelligence from the released hostages about the location. I assume that the other docs/employees knew the building security codes to back entrances. It's not a big or complex building. Breach and make a direct shot to perp. Aside from that -- Turn off power, Flash bang, Tear gas, LRAD sonic weapons -- I'm sure that APD has those tools in their bag.
I'm just not a fan of militarized police tactics. I don't think that they are helpful. YMMV.
