This conflict, like we're starting to do, I think we can forego that mid-block,
00:05
quad on 3-3.
00:11
3-3, I copy. I'll push east.
00:15
I'm not a unit. You can actually come to my position. I only have one you eight with me and he's on rifle. I'll take you as a less lethal.
00:25
Time for.
00:28
One you eight to those healthy units.
00:31
Do you guys have any contacts or any info on (name withheld)? Do we find out anything more?
00:40
Negative. One of the witnesses said that (name withheld) could have been a witness,
00:44
but the alleged shooter didn't know him, but I don't know his name. So therefore, (name withheld) is not going to be a shooter, but he's a victim here.
00:58
Copy. So (name withheld) is a witness. He's the one that ran over to 3-2, which we have contained, and he is not a suspect.
01:06
The suspects went over there, and allegedly the guy (name withheld) is starting to run over there.
01:13
So the suspect does reside, but those apartment conflicts,
01:18
they just don't know his name by heart.
01:20
Both witnesses and victims confirmed the suspect resides somewhere in this conflict in his last seen and running over there when people were chasing him down.
01:35
I copy the suspect ran towards these units, unknown,
01:40
which unit.
01:41
(Name withheld) was just a witness.
01:44
10-4[1], confirmed, that's right.
01:51
Sam[2] 5. I think I see a survey flying overhead. Can you check and see if they're available?
01:57
The survey was paged. I'll see if they can join on if they're here for our call.
02:04
First commandment was the same five. I should be attached to you.
02:10
Copy.
02:11
In Sam[2] 5 to 1U8.
02:15
My suggestion at this point would be to wait for air support to clear as much of this complex as possible before we make entry.
02:23
N4, I agree.
02:25
We just have that wrought iron fence and corrugated steel up here so we can't see. There is a gate on the north side, though.
02:33
Copy, would you guys be able to access that gate or are you going to need tools?
02:42
We'll confirm, but we should be able to access it.
02:47
Copy. I'm going to take a team up to the gate where my witness saw our suspects jump and see if there's any evidence.
02:54
And I'll let you know if we'll have access from our end.
02:58
But I'm guessing the gate on my end is not going to be one we can get through.
03:05
Hi, Copy.
03:06
We'll just be holding until we can get our support to check it.
03:13
Let's have to be advised. Survey is still on their PTS, so call ill-advised when they're going to be in route to ours.
03:19
Two items, six, eight,
03:20
is heading to Code 12 for the drone and the advice on down team.
03:26
Force command one.
03:28
First of a minute, one, good.
03:30
Let me 23 and which LP unit has the IC?
03:38
That's two on. That'll be new, sir.
03:42

03:47
One, six and three, two.
03:50
The winner's business looking to video footage.
03:53
Causeway, I have some video footage here.
03:55
I'm looking at it right now.
03:58
Happy Sixth and Three-two. Force Commandant, One, Radio. I'm going to link up with this. They're at Incident Commander.
04:03
Thanks, sir. Thank you, Lee.
04:06
Okay.
04:12
Sam[2], 9 to 5. Just be advised, we're also going to be interested in this car lot. That's on the corner of 3-2 and 4th. The metal rolling gate on our side is propped open just big enough for our body to fitter.
04:29
Copy.
04:32
2-210 South 4'Av.
04:39
Sam[2]e 4-2213. Where do you want me?
04:47
Can you make your way to the west of my location and set up in the alley as western containment?
04:57
To try to avoid the crossfire with us and you'll probably need a cover officer over there.
05:09
1U8. Did we request a drone unit citywide?
