29 year-old Rueben Galindo of Charlotte Mecklenburg, North Carolina, decided to call the police and turn in his gun to them. So he called 911 to attempt to arrange for him to hand his gun over to the police.
The act of self-pacification turned into the last decision Galindo would ever make.
According to his wife, Azucena Zamoraro, Galindo had decided that he no longer wanted the firearm to be in his home, so he called 911 with the hope of arranging to have his gun taken from him by the police.
The 911 dispatcher, upon hearing this request by Galindo, asked him if he had any other guns. He informed her that he had no other guns. After about a 15 minute conversation, during which Galindo informed the police that he had his gun in a bag, the dispatcher decided that the cops would come to his house to retrieve the gun.
Galindo agreed to having the cops come to his home. He also informed the dispatcher that he had no bullets in his gun. As a matter of fact, he had no bullets for his gun whatsoever. As the minutes went by, while the police were en route, the dispatcher assured Galindo that the police were only going to his home to help him.
At one point in the call there was some confusion, as the dispatcher appeared to tell Galindo to leave the weapon. The dispatcher most likely meant for Galindo to leave the weapon in the home when he greeted the police, but clearly, Galindo did not understand what she meant. He appeared to have understood that he should leave the weapon with the police, which is what he wanted to do the whole time.
