East 14 and Madden. East 14th of Mattern, we have a crime-land color that states a male, (name withheld), wearing blue shirt and blue shorts, had a handgun in his hand, tracked it back, and then walked westbound on Madden. When asked for a time delay, they hung up on us. All they could say is a black 9-millimeter handgun.
