The conversation I'm to discuss is an exceedingly unsettling one. It involves a Las Vegas veteran police officer, Hans Walters, who called 911 to acknowledge his chilling actions. Confessing to the unthinkable crime of murdering his wife, Michelle, and their five-year-old son, Maximilian, he divulged his fraught state of mind with a stark coldness.

In the course of the 911 call, Walters shared his motivations and further plans. Expressing the misguided perception that his actions were redemptive, he stated that he killed his wife as she was living in chronic pain. Alongside this, he warned that he had set his house ablaze and made a threatening declaration of opening fire on anyone who sought to approach, including the fire department.
The police unit that arrived on the scene found Walters standing ominously at the doorway. However, before they could intervene, he retreated indoors to conclude his chilling plan - to take his own life.

Caller: "Don't interrupt me, please. This is real. This isn't a joke. The fire alarms in the background are because I set the garage and the bedroom on fire. My wife's in the bedroom. I shot her in the head. My son, unfortunately, was... there...and I shot him in the head too..."
