Just three minutes after police officers in the coastal Maine city of Biddeford responded to Derrick Thompson's 911 call and then left the scene, the teenager and his girlfriend were shot dead. But how much were officers told when they were dispatched to Thompson's December 2012 call that he was being threatened? Could they have done more to prevent the killings? Answering questions about their actions took a lawsuit, an appeal and 11 months after state prosecutors turned down the newspaper's request for 911 transcripts. The faceoff was eventually settled in the newspaper's favor by Maine's top court. (AP Photo/Portland Press Herald, John Patriquin)
