911 calls to police the night of the shootings at Trolley Square mall.

Note: Graphic content.

The shots echoed behind the woman's voice as she hid inside a tiny closet inside the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.

Boom.

"He just keeps shooting!" a woman named Kathy whimpered over the phone to the 911 dispatcher.

"I want you guys to be as quiet as possible," the dispatcher said.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

"Please tell me what's going on," Kathy pleaded, as more shots could be heard behind her. "There's more shots."

Hiding in a closet with five other adults and a 3-year-old girl, the fear was evident in the woman's voice as the shots could be heard over the phone line. Kathy counted: four shots, five shots.

Boom.

"There's another one," she said, her voice cracking. "What the hell. ... How many rounds does he have? There's another one."

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

"How many shots was that?"

More than three hours of chilling 911 calls and radio communications between emergency dispatchers and Salt Lake City police officers were released Thursday, detailing the terror inside the Trolley Square mall the night 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic went on a shooting rampage. By the time it was over, Talovic had killed five people and injured at least a half-dozen others before dying in a shootout with officers.
