During one of its popular AskReddit segments, site users asked emergency dispatchers about the most disturbing calls they've ever gotten.
Some of these calls are not only disturbing but absolutely horrific.
We have edited answers for grammar and clarity, and we have added our own emphasis in bold letters.
It took one operator nearly an hour to stop a man from committing a grisly crime.
"I took a call from a guy once who said he had a gun, was going to go inside a residence and rape, then murder a family. Then he said he was going to commit suicide by cop. This is a while ago, but I actually talked him out of it, and had officers on scene as he was getting out of his vehicle. It took me about 30-45 minutes on the phone."

"To this day I can remember that scream she had."
A call taker received a complaint from a girl working at McDonald's who said a group of people were throwing things at the windows.
"I then get a call about 3 minutes later, same girl, 'the group of people are banging on the back door trying to get in!!' I heard her shouting and BOOM a loud noise of screaming and laughing going on. The girl was scared [expletive] started yelling and then...silence."
At this time police were already enroute, and we had multiple calls on this incident. As we waited for the police to get there I received one more phone call from someone parked in the parking lot watching this going on. The female on the phone stated 'A large group of people dragged an employee out of the restaurant and were beating her with something that looks like a pay phone.'"

One Redditer's mother heard a woman commit suicide.
"This girl had a gun in her mouth. My mom could hear it.
After only a minute of talking, she did it. My mom heard the gunshot, and then blabbering. The bullet went through the woman's cheek, but not her skull. She was crying. She was saying she was sorry."
