[...]

It's shocking -- one minute 27-year-old Terrell Rhodes is handcuffed to a table in an interrogation room, and the next, he has a detective's gun in his hands.

Police say during the struggle the suspect said "kill me" and that he wanted to die.

[...]

As Rhodes struggles with his handcuffs, detectives rush in and attempt to calm him down.

That's when things took a dangerous turn, and it was all caught on camera.

As detectives fought to make sure Rhodes wasn't able to get a good grip on the gun, he grabbed from one of their holsters. They were able to get the gun out of his hands without anyone getting hurt.

[...]

My son told me that there is a very strict rule---NO GUNS allowed ins interrogation rooms. I guess we ca see why...

When watching 48 hours you see on the outside of the interrogation room a sign saying no guns allowed in room.
