So far, four shell casings here at the car wash.
00:26
And I know Lincoln 7, they were already on the move when I heard the pistol with the switch kick off, and it sounded like they dumped the whole mag, so it might be from the vacuums to the exit.
00:38
They came straight out through the base, but they were sitting in the middle at the back vacuum.
