Drive to the crime scene.

When you arrive on the scene at Rawling’s Bowling Alley , an armed suspect carrying a shotgun is seen clearing customers out of the bowling alley.

Subdue the armed suspects.

You begin this mission covered behind your patrol vehicle as the shotgun-toting suspect you saw in the opening cinematic comes running out the front door. Gun him down, take his shotgun, and then cover outside the entrance.

Look for the enemies by spotting red blips on the mini-map. Swing out from cover and shoot the gunman near the bowling lanes, inside the doorway and just to the right. Release your cover stance and enter

manual aim. While aiming, slowly enter the bowling alley as you face the shoe counter, inside and to the left. There are two gunmen in this location. If you’re quick enough, you can gun down both men and avoid a hostage situation.

Subdue the remaining suspect.

If the man behind the counter lives, he’ll run down a connecting hallway. When control returns to you, run and leap over the counter to chase him. A cinematic shows the fleeing gunman take a hostage in the pin setting room.

Subdue the hostage taker.

To defeat the suspect without harming the hostage, do not adjust your aim after the cinematic lead-in. In the first instant of the challenge, the gunman puts his head into view to the right (your left) of the hostage’s head. As soon as this happens, shoot. The gunman goes down.
