He thinks it's too bright.

00:54
Lou, I'll call you if I need you.

01:08
I don't know at your protocol, but...
01:13
At this point, he's made multiple threats with a weapon, so keep contact with him.

01:37
Yeah, we need one more west,
01:39
and we need one on the other street.
01:42
3-2, can you head over there?
01:46
Nick 3-1 and Adam 3-2, can you head over there?
01:50
3-2. All right, Adam 3-2, I sent you in.
02:00
If that's certain different, if you guys can go on the next street over, I appreciate it.
02:05
Copy.
02:08
All right, he will not answer the phone now, so I don't know if one of you guys want to try calling him.
02:19
Talk about a detective,
02:20
I guess that kind of wronged him.
02:23
I told him I didn't recognize the detective's name.
02:27
So when I copy, I'll try to give him a call.
02:30
Copy. Copy.
02:36
Is this a self-reporting or a third party call?
02:41
Self-reporting.
02:46
Let's primary down here.
02:53
Rney 3-7.
02:58
Let's give a minute. He's trying to give him a call.
03:05
No response for trying again.
03:11
You guys, we have a permit around this house.
03:18
37, you can't confirm if they're everyone else in the house.
03:23
I can't confirm.
03:25
I only heard him talking and screaming.
03:28
I don't believe there is anybody else in the hospital.
03:32
You just need children's toys in the front yard.
03:35
Check it.
03:37
Copy.
03:38
All right, we're going to have to shut down Brighton from near 117th, going westbound.
03:49
going westbound.
03:54
Can you look through Lurms and tell me what all the information you have on this address through reports? See if we have any children that live here.
04:04
We'll try to talk to some neighbors.
04:11
Okay. Just, you know, we all went over priors.
04:14
He called for a break-in.
04:18
It was no cause.
04:20
He called for a few shots fired in the area.
04:24
And then a fight from his neighbors across the street that he was not involved in.
04:29
No calls mentioned any family or anybody else in the household.
04:36
All right. What do we get on his social?
04:42
Okay, (name withheld), CIT 1124.
04:50
Is your car unlocked?
04:57
Negative.
05:00
Use.
05:02
From...
05:06
Where we have shown on our social radio, any history of violence or warrants?
05:16
I don't have access to low-leg, but on his social, he's not showing any warrants or anything like that.
05:23
All he has is a CCW[2] permit.
05:25
All right,
05:28
so he has a CCW[2] permit, so you should have weapons.
05:38
I can't confirm that, I just know he has a CCW[2] permit.
05:42
If he has, I'm just assuming if he has CCW[2] permit, he probably has weapons.
