My friend Matthew Hanson died in Oakland. He was shot in his home and died because of the 911 problem. Appalling. In my home area 911 picks up immediately and police and EMS would have been there in under 15 minutes. This story below (headline about how the shooter subsequently died) explains that there were two alterations. My friend (the victim) called 911 during the first altercation, 40 minutes before the second altercation where he was subsequently shot. He stayed alive for long enough to call 911 a second time. Sadly they didn't make it there in time. When the police arrived they couldn't get anyone to answer the door so they left. Matthew was found by a friend. https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/06/15/oakland-slaying-suspect-dies-from-self-inflicted-gunshot-wound-in-southern-california/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/06/15/oakland-slaying-suspe...
