Get a unit to go up to the range and get on the tracks on the west side,

Three deputies on the east side of the bridge, they're still in the brush off of the railroad tracks. I just want to avoid any crossfire.
01:45
That's clear. We know him as being harmed.
01:54
He made comments to us. If we approached, he would jump.
01:57
If we got close, he had a sharp object. He would use to attempt to stab us.

I'm about myself,
02:49
but it sounds like 235 and 230 are probably closer.
02:54

03:03
Law enforcement's up there.
03:05
He thinks we're all down here still.
03:09

03:26
It's clear. We are doing our best to make sure that they stay inside.
03:34
On below on the children home, mine's back at the PD.
03:43
Is there any available unit that's not at command base that can go tell the civilians to stay inside their residences? They're calling 911 Childs Office.
03:59

Myself at 230 are just on the west side of the bridge at the top. Do you want us to try to make contact or?
