In 2003, 18-year-old Devin Moore was arrested and brought to a police station under auto theft suspicion. While in custody, Moore acquired a police officer's gun and killed that officer by shooting him several times, including a fatal shot to the head. Moore then shot and killed a second police officer with yet another fatal shot to the head. Finally, Moore walked down the hall and shot and killed an emergency dispatcher. After committing the three murders, Moore stole a police cruiser and drove off. In less than one minute, Moore had murdered three people.
