143. Are you able to divert for an armed person? Are you going to be tied up? 143, send it. I copy 220. Can you cover? This is at the Cinema, Lancaster Mall, 831 Lancaster. Eastbound on the sidewalk, two that went into the theater at one point. After the caller witnessed them putting automatic weapons into a backpack or backpacks. And again, they're now out on foot. 143 and 2027. 2.21 is that location again. 143 and 220, there's a new update that they shut the building. I'm thinking these might be Aerosoff. They're described as a white male juvenile red shirt and a white male juvenile black hooded sweatshirt black pants. The caller still has eyes on. Other than automatic weapons and arms lengths, that's the description. One for three, I copy. And they are on the sidewalk of the mall itself, not the street, and they're now around in front of Red Robin. I don't believe so, Alpha 154 and other units are en route, but 154 is arriving in front of Red Robin. A caller still has eyes on now in front of Nordstrom Rack. Units are arriving?
