DENTON, TXIn what is being hailed as a heroic intervention that provided critical support at a moment when her life was at stake, sources confirmed Tuesday that local 911 operator Justin Lyle had successfully walked panicked woman Jessica Brooks through the process of being murdered.During the emergency call, received at 12:07 a.m. after a home invasion allegedly turned violent, Lyle calmly and expertly delivered step-by-step instructions to Brooks detailing what she should do as she was being taken down by the intruder. A phone transcript details the great care taken by a courageous and composed dispatcher as he ensured the victim was equipped with the knowledge necessary to meet her horrific end.911, whats your emergency? Lyle said as he answered, jumping into action when he learned the caller was being pursued by a man with a deadly weapon and had already suffered multiple knife wounds. Okay, please remain calm and listen carefully. Were going to get through this together. What I need you to do right now is crawl weakly into the next room, struggle to pull yourself to your feet, and then barricade the door with a chair. Can you manage that? This wont really do much to slow your attacker, and it definitely wont be enough to stop him.Youre doing great, he continued. Just stay with me, and it will all be over soon.Over the course of the approximately 25-minute conversation, Lyle employed a list of scripted questions and methodically determined that Brooks had been stabbed several times, had lost a significant amount of blood, and was now at the mercy of a raging madman she could not hope to overpower even if he were unarmed. After collecting the necessary information, the operator reportedly used his crisis communication training to advise the woman that help was on its way but definitely wouldnt get to her in time.Local officials confirmed Lyle drew upon his years of on-the-job experience as he instructed Brooks to claw at her assailant to little or no effect, a vain effort that would end when she was knocked to the ground with a fierce blow from a blunt instrument, possibly a crowbar. When it appeared the end was near, the operator urged the victim to use whatever energy she had left to make a futile lunge for a lamp that had been knocked to the floor, explaining that she would not be able to reach it and, even if she could, would no longer have the strength to smash it over the mans head.Maam, where is he stabbing you? Lyle asked, according to the transcript, verifying that the callers lacerations included at least one, and possibly two, slashed arteries. At this point, blood should be spurting everywhere. Are you seeing that? Thats totally normal. Youre definitely bleeding out now, which is exactly what we expect to see happen in a situation like this. Your sight should be dimming too, but I need you to stay on the line with me, okay? Remember to breathe.Go ahead and take a final breath in and a final breath out, he added. A coroner is on his way to pronounce you dead as we speak.Last month, Justin Lyle was honored for his 25 years of service as a 911 dispatcher, a career during which his supervisors said he had helped more than 100 people like Brooks as they succumbed to their injuries and became homicide victims.When a person is murdered in our community, Justin is often the last person they ever talk to, Mayor Gerard Hudspeth said during a celebratory banquet held for Lyle at Denton City Hall. Hes always there to help, and more than anyone else Ive met, he understands that its not easy to be shot, cut to pieces, or bludgeoned to death. I only wish all those victims could be here today to show Justin their appreciation.Reached for comment, Lyle downplayed suggestions that he was a hero, saying that when one of his callers died a shocking, brutal death at the hands of a killer, he was just doing his job.The post 911 Operator Walks Panicked Woman Through Being Murdered appeared first on The Onion.
