What happened during this Austin hostage situation? Police say a 911 call was made at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday about a man inside an office who was holding hostages. Officers were dispatched to Children's Medical Group office, where five employees were inside. Police said no patients or children were present. Eventually, some of those employees were able to leave. "Several hostages initially escaped and others were later allowed to leave with the exception of Dr. Katherine Dodson," police said in a written statement. Among those who escaped was Narumanchi pointed a gun at her and a co-worker. "He pointed his gun at my co-worker and told her to go get the doctor ... and then he points the gun at me and tells me to go lock the front door," said Victoria Ishaak. Did Lindley Dodson know Bharat Narumanchi? Narumanchi is not known to have any connection to Dodson. However, according to some of the hostages, Narumanchi previously applied for a volunteer position at the offices a week ago. A staff member says Dodson did not come into contact with Narumanchi at that time. Dodson operated her practice with several other doctors. During a Wednesday news conference, police said Narumanchi was also a pediatrician who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and had been given weeks to live.
