It is, to this day, the largest number of suspects to die in a
non-riotous, local police action in this country. Echoes of Shannon
Street is a true crime police procedural that tells the story of
the abduction of two white police officers by black cult members in
the racially-divided city of Memphis in January, 1983. The event
began a highly-publicized and sharply criticized stand-off between
hundreds of police officers and the seven suspects barricaded
inside a small house in a predominantly black area of north
Memphis. For the next day and a half, negotiators attempted in vain
to communicate with the leader of the cult, a mentally ill man
named Sanders. Inside a local school, top police officials
discussed their options. Outside, police officers stood in the
cold, anxiously awaiting orders to go inside and rescue their
fellow officer. The wait was long and hard, made even more horrific
by the fact that for five hours, the officer's beating and his
cries for help were heard through bullet-riddled windows and
broadcasted through the officer's own radio. Thirty hours later,
one of the abducted officers lies in a hospital, a bullet wound
through his hand and face. The other is found dead in the living
room of the house, cuffed with his own handcuffs, his bloody
flashlight nearby. All seven suspects are dead, shot by the
department's all-white TACTICAL Unit. Twenty-eight years later, few
will talk of it. Actual radio transcripts, witness statements, and
autopsy reports included in the thousand page case file are
reprinted in whole or in part. Use of these documents, in addition
to investigator's notes, crime scene photos, newspaper accounts,
and recent interviews with some of the officers involved, tell the
hour-by-hour account of a hostage crisis out of control.
