MACOMB, ILL. -- It's a tragedy some local residents will never forget.

The 9-1-1 call from the February 2010 Macomb Farm King Shooting appeared on a new show called, Panic 9-1-1 on A&E Thursday at 9 p.m.

The show is about callers under extreme stress who must make critical choices as lives are violently threatened.

A Tennessee, Illinois man walked into Macomb's Farm King store and fired shots inside the building and at local police almost three years ago. He later was found dead inside the store of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Panic 9-1-1 will also show real-life situations that happened in San Jose, California and rural Oklahoma.
