I figured if I was ever confronted by this situation I'd NEVER give up my gun, that I'd explain to the perp he has 2 choices, surrender and get a public defender or hurt the hostage and I'll execute him right then and there, regardless if he tries to surrender. Bottom line, the perp needs to understand, hostage dies, so do you. Any LEO out there with an opinion on this type of situation?
The fastest way to end a hostage situation is to shoot the hostage.

"Now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all... your fault, my fault, nobody's fault... it don't matter...I'm gonna blow your head off. It's as simple as that."
