I'm having to radio, apparently when this male was fleeing, he was waving the gun around before he tripped and possibly shot down at the ground, probably towards his legs.
00:12
All right, copy.

They stated that they believe he pointed the gun in their direction and then tripped, and that's what caused the gun to go off.
00:55
They said they've been trying to catch this guy for the past couple of weeks.
00:58
He keeps breaking in the unit 17, and today they caught him in there, and their cameras showed, I guess, that he broke into 17, and then entered into 19, which is another boarded-up vacant.
01:10
And so today when they stopped him, they saw he had a gun, told him, hold up, you got to wait, and they called the police, and then that's when the dude said, Or the guy said, oh,
