01:13
Are you guys going to need me over there? If not,
01:16
I'll go to this officer in rear containment series, not alone.
01:21
Yeah, if you would help them out the rear, that'd be great.
01:24
Thank you.
01:29
Compi, does anyone over here have a pepperball on their car that could take them?
01:33
I'm going to have a 40 and 710 if that helps.
01:44
Is that Yamamoto back there? Do you have any less lethal?
01:49
I've got a 40 in my patrol car incident location.
01:53

Four-three, go ahead, sir.
02:10
I know you're more or less out with the gun.
02:13
Have you recovered it or is there a safe way for you to get to it to secure it?
02:20
In the property near North Tyrell, I spoke with the owner of the home.
02:25
He said he'll stay inside.
02:26
It's secure. I'm right next to Smith still.
02:32
I mean, and there's a duffel bag as well.
02:35
I'd like to determine what's in that duffel bag, but are you able to get to it or should we go from the front up here?
02:42
I can hop the fence if I get someone back here with me.
02:50
I'm heading over to them, I'll take a look and evaluate and see what their best approach.
02:57
Yeah, we're going to, yeah, we'll send a couple from up front to go secure that stuff right now.
03:11
Let me just see if we get in a good spot, we can cover you guys until you get to the backyard, then we'll come off from when you're back there.
03:17
For everyone's awareness,
03:19
it's possible that he's secured in that yard or that he's contained in that yard, but it's also possible that he went further east.
03:26
So for the units in the alley, hold those positions,
03:29
but make sure that you have good security.
03:35
Three Baker, one, four.
03:36
I'm overhead that president with the gun.
03:40
I can see the duffel on the roof with the drone.
03:42
There are several sheds and coverings and also siding leaned up against the back of that shed where the gun is sitting now.
03:53
It's unsecured,
03:55
but just be aware there's a lot of structures in the backyard.
04:01
Is that the furthest north property on Thoreau or is it the second one to the south?
04:10
We wanted a property with a gun, red brick house, red trim.
04:15
It's got like a white AC on top towards the rear.
04:18
Copy. And you're in the rear of that place now?
04:23
Yeah, 10-4[1].
04:24
We'd have to jump this gate.
04:25
We can probably do that real quick to grab the gun and secure that at least if you want.
04:32
Negative, just stand by.
04:33
We're going to end up clearing it.
04:34
We're going to clear from north to south on this.
04:36
We'll just start there and then work all the way out of the first video.
04:41
Coffee. We're going to bump over to the north a little bit to be out of any line of fire.
04:45
We can't provide any lethal coverage from here because the wall is too high.
04:48
And I have a, like,
04:50
gave up lock back here.
04:57

05:07
3Ber-1-4, put a drone.
05:09
They're going to be responsible for watching that gun for us because we're kind of tucked back.
05:13
We can't get eyes on it.
05:17
10-4[1]. I came down low to hover so that everyone would know which residents we're talking about from the front.
05:23
But I'll keep it on the firearm.
05:27
For inner wear containment, we are out of crossfire, so you guys are good on the front.
05:35
That's where it's an actual car.
05:37
We can get in place and get behind your car for cover because we're going to have a crossfire if they jump this fence.
05:46
M1 to the Tom unit.
05:48
Can you guys 45 at the intersection please?
