We're up here with the individual. Can you help us with the freeway closures for now? This might be a while. He's on a ledge and we don't want him to jump, so we're not going to approach at the moment. Yeah, the way I went didn't give me to where you guys were, so I'm trying to get turned around. I'll see if I can get my cars over there if I'm clear. 6.20. I'm coming 71 more. Pretty neat shut out. Get on 71 north from Spring, shut the ramp to eastbound 670, and then there's a flyover right next to us. I don't know where that comes from, we're going to have to look at the map. We need that close down, too. Okay, I'll get right hand from central northbound. Yeah, if you look at that ramp, just north of spring, the 670, whatever's right next to us. It's eastbound, it turns out eastbound 670. Whatever that comes from, need to shut down. What freeway is he over? 71 north ramp to 670 east. He is on the ramp. We're pretty much sitting right on top of old Leonard, if that helps. Yeah, I want to see traffic going underneath it if you can. Yeah, that'd be perfect. Traffic under us is still flowing. I believe that's Leonard. But right now we do not need SWAT. We have not seen a 33. We're just taking our time with him because we don't want him to jump. We can have people underneath the bridge if he jumps. We're good down here. 5-1-ready either. 7-6.05. I think just next to us here might be the 670 East Main Line. We may have to shut somewhere west of us. They're not currently up. can have Com channel call them. Do we have an MCR units working radio? NCR channel 6. Is fire having anything they can set up for a jumper? We are concerned that you may have a firearm, but we can try to provide some cover for them.
