Heading west.
00:30
They're coming towards us right now. They're walking east on Armstrong.
00:35
Just to see them.
00:40
And this match, you get more effort from the caller, see what the above would be three, uh,
00:45

00:49
Right now,
00:51
the call taker is saying that they were on Armstrong and Ocean.
00:58
Sergeant, we have a victim anywhere yet.
01:10
I know there's a lot going on, but is there any more description?
01:14
Call taker has an open line right now. All he's getting out is three males wearing white shirts.
01:20
He's getting no information about skin tone.
01:24
Is there any victims?
01:30
No victim at this time.
01:36
I receive.
01:43
And what's the involvement with these males?
01:47
Was that the involvement?
01:54
Correct. Is it just three males running? Is there any other involvement with them?
02:01
Ticket I got here.
02:03
Three shots heard, three males last seen wearing white shirts running towards the basketball courts.
02:09
I'm not sure if those are the actors or if they were just running.
02:13
Open line with the caller right now, not getting much information from him.
02:21
And where's the caller?
02:27
When they went to open it, they found a firearm case inside.
02:33
They don't know if there's anything inside that case, but they're claiming that it's really heavy, and they just want to report to the police.
02:42
Sorry, I'm off.
02:50
Sagan Institute, then the caller hung up. I'm working on trying to get them back on the line for you.
02:59
Sorry, point.
03:00
Just on... East Lieutenant.
03:08
Okay, good.
03:09
All right, at the academy, they're calling in.
03:12
Apparently, there's a package. They just found that it was delivered in July.
03:15
They said they opened the box. They found the gun piece inside, but they're not sure if anything is inside the actual case.
03:25
Anyone working Intel on the air, Channel 1? Intel, Channel 1.
03:34
Hi,
03:36
you got a unit going on, right?
03:38
That's correct.
03:41
All right, let me know what you got.
03:47
Yeah, call for a shot fired in the area, Armstrong, and Ocean. Is there anything on this?
03:54
Yeah, I've been monitoring.
03:55
I'm playing back. As of right now, I don't have anything on CCTV, but I'm still checking.
04:00
I advise you, if we'll get something.
04:03

Yeah, I got it. Yeah, I got it.
04:10
We have these three people's... See?
04:20
Why wrong?
04:23
Right thing.
04:29
Negative, all I got was Armstrong notion, just the only call for it. Caller is being difficult, wants to remain anonymous, not saying where he went.
04:42
All right, we see.
04:48
People on this corner here, they didn't hear anything.
04:56
P.O. Khan, you think that you are going to check Bayside Park?
05:00
Yeah,
05:03
both. We are at the Bayside Park. We are canvassing right now. Nothing showing so forth.
05:09
I receive.
05:16
All right, 526.
05:20
526, Rob.
05:26
All right, in front of Muhammad Ali Park on the Armstrong side, south side of the street,
05:32
there should be a shell case in there too.
05:34
Looks like the actor is going to be male with black pants, black sneakers.
05:39
Tell like if it's a brown jacket or a brown hoodie of some sort,
05:43
black ski mask.
05:46
Looks like he goes south through Muhammad Ali Park, half the shots fired[1].
05:56
Security, hold on.
05:59
Okay, no point.
06:05
Witness, so the officer's overheard. I think it works for her for projects in general.
06:10
I'm just checking over there right now.
06:17
I have a New Jersey Ridge.
06:19
That's sir.
06:24
Ed.
06:28
Victor 6-2, Whiskey, Bravo, Romeo. She'll come back to the Grave. We'll plug it.
06:38
Thursday.
06:43
People were residents, obviously, they said that they hear shots fired[1] inside the park of Muhammad Ali Park.
06:59
R.Shoe. If I could just cut in, like I said, it looks like it happens right outside the entrance.
07:05
If you're on Armstrong on the south side of the street, there should be an open gate leading into the basketball court.
07:11
You should find shell casing in that immediate area.
07:16
One receipt.
07:21
Two shell cases in the basketball court.
07:23
Do that.
07:31
All right, so I got that here, guys. Clear it out.
