LANCASTER, Pa.-

The Amish schoolhouse gunman threatened to kill his hostages “in two seconds” if authorities did not leave the property, according to a 911 transcript released Tuesday.

“Don’t try to talk me out of it, get ’em all off the property now,” Charles Carl Roberts IV told a Lancaster County dispatcher.

The dispatcher then asked Roberts to stay on the phone so he could be transferred to state police. Roberts replied: “No, you tell them and that’s it. Right now or they’re dead in two seconds.”
