02:10
So where we took the other guy into custody, he's to the east of that, right dead center of the concessions.
02:17
He tucked down behind a recycling bin and a pillar.
02:20
Looks like he's got something in his right hand.
02:23
He's actually between two garbage cans. He's tucked in there pretty good.
02:27
So if you're approaching from the east or from the west, gone east, he's got a good line of side of you.
02:33
His back is to the west,
02:36
or to the east with a pillar behind him. So the best approach will be coming from the east and to the west towards the blue truck.

Looks like he's waiting for a gunfight or trying to hide from us.
