LA Metro

Crime Information
A Los Angeles subway train has been hijacked and the international delegation on board has been taken hostage by armed gunman at the 7th and Metro station.

Location Information
The 7th & Metro station is located underground and is the only station in the system where the Red and Blue lines converge. The lines run in opposite directions and are located on separate levels. The Blue Line is located on the upper most level and travels north to south. The Red Line is located one level below and travels east to west. The delegation was traveling westbound on the Red line. Where within the station or which level the hostages are on is unknown at this time.

There are four entry points into the 7th & Metro station. Each is located above the Blue Line level and each provide adequate cover and concealment. Given that the tactical advantage appears somewhat equal, the choice of entry point is up to the entry team.

Additional Information
Power to the both trains has been shut off and an exterior perimeter has been set by C team. The suspects have ignored CNT's attempts at negotiation and have failed to identified themselves. At the start of the siege, the suspects released one hostage with a demand: return power to the trains or hostages will be killed.

Suspect Information
According to the released hostage there are three male suspects: all Caucasian, in their mid 30's, dressed in business suits.

The suspects displayed automatic weapons and were seen receiving and sending communications using two-way radios. The suspect's use of sophisticated communication devices indicates they are organized and professional. They are not to be underestimated.

Due to the suspect's appearance, diligence is required to differentiate between hostages and suspects.

Hostage Information
The hostages are all high ranking US or foreign politicians and dignitaries. The train they were riding was a specially scheduled Red Line train traveling from the downtown area to the Convention Center.

Prior to the on-loading of passengers, C team ran dogs through the Red Line tunnels and stations along the planned route and deemed it clear of threat. The fact that the route was clear substantiates information from the released hostage that the suspects posed as members of the delegation prior to the high jacking.

Hostages include Russian President Igor Stomas, His Holiness Alexy III, the Chinese Foreign Minister, California Governor Barbara Morris and Congressmen Norman Welch and Warren Stickel.
