Gallagher also said police had the prosecutor's office prepare an offer of immunity so they could have it available if they needed it as a bargaining tool in dealing with Kiritsis. "Sheriff (Lawrence) Broder-ick and I met privately and decided that we could not honor any offer of immunity," Gallagher said. "We kept it off the police radio, but sent word around to each of our personnel at the scene that regardless of what they might hear, we were not honoring any offer of immunity." Authorities decided to make the offer the second evening of the siege when Kiritsis "became very upset after hearing a broadcast report that members of a bomb squad were at the scene, Gallagher said.
