And four. Originally, we had the staff from the Circle K. Call about an unwanted. It described him as a (name withheld), 30-5-5, light blue shirt, black pants, black cap, dark hair. And then we had an additional caller, (name withheld), was borrowing of Pastor Vicerone. They did his staff chase him off the property and threatened to assault him, and he wants to press charges. Last update, he was going to meet officers at the... at the church, two doors down from the Circle K. And then we've had a third caller, who the bus driver, was stopped by (name withheld), 30s, no further description, saying there was a shooting act, the Circle K. And this individual wanted to get on the bus with the caller, but she refused. When they called the store, it was a code for her. I'll advise. I'll say it further. 104 the store gave the downscar code 4[1] and they said the subject was last seen walking eastbound (number withheld). Any twenty-nine have been for me? And four, go ahead. One, George, Nora, Edward King. One, three, Tom, four one, one, one, six, zero, five, four. (number withheld), are you code one and are you code four? I'm code one. Vehicles unoccupied and I'll go for it. Copy. It is coming back as L7101 out of Pima County. 104. I copy. Can you set it up for confirmation this? 104. 05.05. The midnight clerk was threatened by the subject stating that he was going to be shot, and I guess the suspect that did up his shirt, but he never saw a gun in his waistband, so just to fly out. Do the manager want to press charges reference the incident? Or just have the mail trespass? I was told that manager has since left. I'll still circulate in the area. I'm on my way.
