00:22
At egg, 1630, list with you, 3-4.
00:25
A, copy 3-4.
00:26
In an 816-770-0, just a heads-up, I do have the supervisor looking into this as well, while you guys are en route.
00:32
Now making statements, he's going to shoot any law enforcement to get on the boat.
00:36
Your discretion on where you want to stage, we're working as well with the trooper now.
00:40
Okay. Fire Compatine one.
00:41
Battalion 1?
00:43
Could into this call to Ops 10 in case develops into something more?
00:48
Let me check the trooper has Offs 10.
00:50
Stand by 1.
00:51
Good morning from 81671.
00:54
We'll check in the 503.
00:56
We'll stick with Office 52 for the time being, and if we need to move it to Austin, we will.
01:00
All right, I'll move over to 52.
01:01
Copy you and from the I-5 Bridge Waterway, please move over to Office 52-52.
01:06
Hi, I'm Italian, 2011.
01:07
Italian 21.
01:08
You can clear off 51.
01:09
We'll just...
01:10
You cut out, I got, we can clear 51.
01:13
That's permanent.
01:14
Is there you're going off 52?
01:15
Damien Brees on track too?
01:16
Yeah, I'll let you,
01:17
but once you get the boat underway, I kind of get in an area, we'll just have you skate from a safe location, and always be the judge where that is.
01:24
If this develops into an actual call in the water rather than on land or something, we may need to go over Ops 10.
01:32
but for now we'll work off 52.
01:33
I don't think we need new Portland units unless your assessment says otherwise.
01:38
And we were good down at Wendler and the water's pretty low, so we'll let you know if we can even get the boat out.
01:44
This is State 5-58.
01:45
Please.
01:46
Cerely, copy, 3-6.
01:47
Up the median hit the catwalk and then we found it in the water.
01:51
He's actually on like a one foot ledge down here on one of the pillars on the furthest north end down here.
01:58
Bobby, I don't know if you probably are trafficked from the fireboat, but they don't have to test if they can get out of the lagoon there because of the low water, so we'll just get enough feet from them shortly, and once we get engine water truck went down there, they can help assess visually what's going on.
02:15
We have reports that he is threatening to shoot someone.
02:20
Is there any indication that he actually has a weapon?
02:22
No, he brands for me,
02:24
never even bothered to turn and even indicate that he had a weapon.
02:27
He had a large chunk of concrete that he dropped,
02:30
put the catwalk, and then we found it down in the water.
02:32
He's saying that he thinks the military is after him and that if law enforcement shows up on the boat that he will shoot him.
02:41
But he's soaking wet and he has no...
02:43
At least it doesn't appear that he's got any weapon on him.
