Girl, 7, heard begging her father not to kill her before cops shoot him during standoff: ‘I don’t want to go to heaven today’
Newly released 911 audio revealed the horrifying moment a 7-year-old Ohio girl begged her armed father not to kill her during a standoff with cops, telling him, “I don’t want to go to heaven today.”
Oaklynn Alexander was kidnapped by her non-custodial father, Charles Ryan Alexander, 43, from her grandmother’s house in Jefferson County in eastern Ohio on Nov. 11.
An Amber Alert was issued, leading to a police pursuit as he fled with his young daughter, the Medina County Sheriff’s Office said.
Police eventually deflated Alexander’s tires and forced him into a combative standoff with cops in a parking lot.
Chilling audio of Alexander on 911 reveals the father, who was armed, threatening to kill his daughter and himself, screaming “I will shoot us both, stand back!”
Little Oaklynn can be heard begging in the background, repeatedly telling her father, “Please don’t.”
With a gun in his hand, Alexander also threatened the girl’s mother, telling her, “I wanna talk to her mother. If you’re listening, Ashley, you should’ve called.
The audio then muffles before Oaklynn asks her father if they are “both going to heaven.”
“How do you know we’re going to heaven?” she asks and her father replies, “We’ll both go?”
Oaklynn presses her father further, asking, “I am going to heaven?” As she realizes what that means she quickly yells, “No!”
“I don’t want to go to heaven today,” Oaklynn can be heard pleading. Her father then tells her, “I didn’t want it to happen either, I just wanted to talk to your mother.”
One of the 911 dispatchers interrupts, telling Alexander, “I know you didn’t want to hurt [your daughter] and you didn’t want it to be like this.”
“Let’s not do anything we can’t undo,” the 911 dispatcher tells Alexander.
Oaklynn can be heard asking again and again if she’s “going to heaven today” in the background, at one point crying out “I don’t want to!”
Another dispatcher tries to talk Alexander down, telling him, “Just keep talking to her if you don’t want her to be scared.”
“Let’s not do anything that is going to make it even more unfair to her, ‘cause you love her, I know you do,” the operator says.
At some point during the call, police opened fire and killed Charles Alexander.
Oaklynn was safely returned to her family after watching officers kill her father.
A family friend set up a GoFundMe to go toward “caring for Oaklynn during her mother’s time off from work, mental health expenses and any additional costs for her future.”
Nearly $8,000 had been raised for the girl’s family as of Sunday
Bereaved father files complaint against Moshe Ya'alon Whose Harming Israel With His Crazed Statements
Attorney Itzik Bonzel, father of Staff Sergeant Amit Bonzel who fell in battle in the Gaza Strip, on Sunday filed a complaint with the Israel Police against former IDF Chief of Staff and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon.
The complaint was filed in response to Ya'alon's statements alleging that IDF soldiers are committing "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, effectively accusing them of genocide.
Ya'alon made the initial claim in an interview with Democrat TV and reiterated this claim in interviews he gave on Sunday morning. Despite attempts by the interviewers to challenge his stance and steer him away from these harsh accusations against IDF soldiers, Ya'alon did not retract his statements.
Bonzel responded by saying, "Ya'alon's hatred for Netanyahu has driven him mad, but that's his problem. Our problem is that his words amount to incitement and harm to state security."
He stressed that Arab television networks have already used Ya'alon's statements to attack Israel, presenting his remarks as "proof" of genocide by the IDF in Gaza.
"Ya'alon's statements endanger our heroic soldiers, constitute incitement against the state, and directly harm national security," said the bereaved father.
He further noted that in recent times, investigations and arrests have been carried out against right-wing activists, and he expects the police and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) to prove to the public that enforcement is not selective.
"I expect the Israel Police and the Shin Bet to show the people of Israel that there is no intention to target only right-wing activists, but also to arrest and interrogate individuals like Ya'alon, [Ehud] Barak, and others," Bonzel said. "Ultimately, an indictment should be filed against Ya'alon for incitement and harming state security. This is an opportunity for the police to prove that enforcement is not selective."
Bonzel concluded by calling on the Israel Police to immediately summon Ya'alon for questioning and to keep him in custody until the end of legal proceedings. "We will no longer sit idly by and allow people like him to trample on the honor of our heroic IDF soldiers," he stressed.
Biden Pardons His Son Hunter Despite Previous Pledges Not To
President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter, sparing the younger Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions and reversing his past promises not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family members.
The Democratic president had previously said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence after his convictions in the two cases in Delaware and California. The move comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case and guilty plea on tax charges, and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House.
It caps a long-running legal saga for the president’s son, who publicly disclosed he was under federal investigation in December 2020 — a month after Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
In June, as his son Hunter was facing trial in the gun case in Delaware, Biden ruled out a pardon or clemency for his son in an interview with ABC News.
As recently as Nov. 8, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ruled out a pardon or clemency for the younger Biden, saying, “We’ve been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which is no.”
