Hostage Claims Panicked Cop Abandoned Her

POCATELLO, Idaho (CN) - After shooting wildly as a man held his ex-girlfriend and her daughter hostage at gunpoint, an Idaho policeman ran away, leaving them to witness the man's grisly suicide, the mother claims in court.

Gina Stucki was on the porch of her home on the morning of Sept. 12, 2014 when Jay Romjue unexpectedly grabbed her, started "throwing her around" and pulled her into the house by her hair at gunpoint, she says in the federal lawsuit.

Romjue was Stucki's ex-boyfriend, according to Idaho news reports.

Stucki's oldest daughter ran into a bedroom and locked the door when she saw what was happening. She dialed 911, but hung up quickly when she heard Romjue and her mother approaching. Romjue allegedly kicked in the door and told the child he was going to kill her mother.

Stucki says Romjue held her hostage for another 45 minutes, threatening to kill her, then ripped open his shirt and pointed the gun at his chest, where he had tattooed her name.

"Romjue told Stucki, 'There is no way out now,'" according to the complaint. "While threatening Stucki with death, Romjue suddenly pointed the gun at his chest, pulled the trigger and killed himself. Stucki and her minor child watched as Romjue bled to death."
