GRAND RAPIDS -- NBC25’s sister station has obtained a 911 call made by Rodrick Dantzler, a man who killed seven people, including his own daughter, before killing himself.

Dantzler killed the seven people, sent police on a high speed chase, and then smashed his car into a home where he then held two people hostage.  He then reportedly made the chilling phone call to 911 demanding for the police to stop following him before the tragedy ended with him taking his own life. You can watch the full WOOD TV report in the video box above. WOOD-TV has also obtained dash cam video from the police car chasing Dantzler during the high speed chase. You can watch those clips by clicking here.
