In court Wednesday, there was a hint of emotion from ex-marine Matthew Buendia as he listened to his dad's 911 call.

"I just received a call from my son Matthew Buendia and he called me and said he was going to blow his brains out," Richard Buendia told the operator. "He said he shot an officer."
 
The call was one of several made the night Hillsborough Deputy Lyonelle De Veaux was shot. On Wednesday, investigators showed jurors her blood-stained uniform, the weapon used, and the bullet that was lodged in her shoulder. Then, the prosecutor played those 911 calls.
 
In one call, jurors heard a volatile Matthew Buendia.
 
"Get the ---- down here," Buendia yelled.
 
Buendia was trying to get his girlfriend to come to the phone and tell the operator everything was OK. When the operator asked about the yelling, Buendia responded back calmly.
 
"Oh, my dog got out," Buendia said. "I'm trying to get her back now."
 
The next call came from a neighbor at the apartment.

Buendia's girlfriend, Jessica Gipson, was there. In the call, jurors heard yelling in the background. It's what brought Deputy De Veaux to the apartment complex off of Waters Street.
 
After Deputy De Veaux was shot, even more calls went out, including one from the hostage negotiator.
 
"Matt please, just let me help you, give me tonight. That's all I'm asking," the negotiator said.
 
Buendia had barricaded himself in his apartment and in a muffled voice he told the negotiator he'd rather be killed than be raped in prison.
 
Still, it was the emotion from his dad's call that caused Buendia to pause in court. On that 911 call, the father pleaded for his son's life.
 
"He's suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome," Richard Buendia said on the call. "He has problems, and oh God, please, please don't hurt him. He's been through so much."
 
For jurors, those calls were meant to highlight one frantic night that left a deputy shot and an ex-marine behind bars, charged with attempted murder.
 
Buendia could spend the rest of his life behind bars if he's convicted.
