Drug addicted gunman and his 12-year-old hostage die in shoot-out with cops

Police in Nevada has released bodycam footage in the fatal shooting last month that left an armed 'drug addict' and his 12-year-old hostage dead, moments after the suspect murdered the boy's mother and their housekeeper. The gunman, 38-year-old Jason Neo Bourne was fatally shot by police at The Douglas at Stonelake Apartments, in Henderson, on November 3. Police encountered Bourne as he was holding 12-year-old Joseph Hawatmeh hostage inside a car with a gun against the boy's head. Moments prior, Bourne had shot dead Joseph's mother, Diana Hawatmeh, 39, and their housekeeper 33-year-old Veronica Muniz, following a 'brief altercation'. After refusing to cooperate with police, Bourne then reportedly shot Joseph, prompting seven officers to return fire. Both Bourne and Joseph were pronounced dead at the scene. The Henderson Police Department declined to specify whether any of the officer's bullets had struck Joseph. Deputy Henderson Police Chief David Burns said the evidence indicates that 'it was the suspect's actions that caused the death of the child.' He added that 'officers were unable to rescue the juvenile before he succumbed to the injuries inflicted by Bourne.' Minutes before the fatal exchange of gunfire, Bourne had reportedly called 911 while police were searching for him, telling dispatchers he was 'from the future' and that his name was Bane, a supervillain from Batman . He chillingly told dispatchers that he was 'making a movie' and that he and Hawatmeh wanted a helicopter - 'a big chopper', adding that 'Joseph was scared'. Bourne lived in the apartment above the Hawatmeh family. His motive for the killings has not yet been revealed by police
