Police shot and killed Palczynski then and there. And a short time later, the third and final hostage, a 12-year old boy, was led to

In daylight, the broken windows were evident as police worked inside the
home to gather more evidence, and former hostages Andy McCord and Lynn
Whitehead returned to try to resume their lives, a task made none the
easier by the horde of waiting reporters.
They spent four days in captivity, and Tuesday relived those terrifying
hours that included tears, talk of surrender and even suicide.
Lynn Whitehead, Hostage:
He actually had us convinced he was going to give himself up, but then he said, I am not going to give myself up today.
Police described Palczynski as a man obsessed with his former girlfriend, Tracey Whitehead. Negotiators were convinced that his
obsession would have led him to kill all the hostages, and that he was bent on what they called suicide by cop.
Dr. James McGee/Hostage Negotiator: They were begging for their lives.
Police also revealed that hostage Lynn Whitehead slipped Palczynski two
tranquilizers in an iced tea some time before he fell asleep on the sofa
with a gun on his belly. That, coupled with information she and McCord

((RUSTY WALLACE: I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. I WENT UP THERE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND BROKE MY OWN RECORD. I MADE NINE 30 LAPS RUNS, WHICH IS A LOT OF RUNING OUT THERE. I THINK WE DID TEN QUALIFYING RUNS, SO I FEEL REAL GOOD ABOUT MY CHANCES FOR A POLE, A NEW TRACK RECORD AND A VICTORY.))
