Correction on the suspect name, (name withheld), he's actually here in the room, he's a witness to this.
00:07
We don't know suspect name.
00:11
Same 9 night, Kathy.
00:16
I know Lincoln 7.
00:18
Since Sam 5 West, are you able to take that position he was at on the north side of the desert area, just west of the hotel?
00:31
One U7, yeah, I can head that way.
00:35
Sorry, one U7.
00:39
One other men with him, 23 over there.
00:47
Is it possible that you could have made it closer to Tucson and Wieding?
00:53
Yeah, it's possible.
00:55
He's going to be locked down west of the hotel between Wieding, Valencia, and Tucson is what we're thinking.
01:06
Okay,
01:08
I copy. The desert area closer to Tucson.
01:12
There's somebody there laying down.
01:15
I'm trying to reacquire him here.
01:22
And the area, is it Tucson, weaning northeast?
01:25
Quad.
01:28
Uh,
01:31
yeah, ten-four.
01:32
The Tucson Wheating, just north, northeast floor.
01:38
Copy that. We're en route.
01:39
We just got to walk around the DPS station again.
01:42
Do you mind sending me a picture if you have a wide enough view that kind of shows where you're at?
01:49
Yeah, time four.
01:58
That subject walking northbound and then once he saw that our vehicle he took off into the wash.
02:05
...from waiting.
02:09
Same line.
02:10
Where was that exactly and what was the time I went?
02:14
Time 9. Just right now,
02:17
where you saw that open door, that building? I don't know if he ran into that entrance where you guys popped out of or if he ran into the heavy desert area just to the east of that.
02:32
Copy that.
02:34
Feel free to set containment where you want to stall them with your overheads on.
02:39
We got to get around that DPS building.
02:40
Air, do you happen to see that subject they're calling up?
02:45
Negative. Is that going to be just west for the hotel?
02:50
Weak and I were at Weeding just east of Tucson and he ran north from Weeding and would have been east of Tucson.
03:06
When you said in the Tom unit, onto the east of you, is this good for you?
03:11
Do you want me to go further east?
03:17
Yeah, you could probably just stay put right there.
03:25
97. We're speaking with (name withheld) in his room.
03:28
He said the suspect possibly had a firearm.
03:30
He wasn't sure, but said it could have been.
03:36
109, we copy, thank you.
03:41
Can you ask him if his, uh...
03:46
Is blue attire? Is G.
03:48
George related?
03:53
Yes, bye. All right.
03:59
He was having the Tom Knight.
04:01
Did you hear that banging noise?
04:05
Yeah, it's another worker in here.
04:07
I'm just through a pallet.
04:13
So I didn't see that person in my other half ball.
04:16
I don't know if it's going to be a worker here or not.
04:20
So time mine is standing on mine.
04:22
I would probably just keep our same quads for now.
04:26
We're going to go at least check out that individual that air has laying down in the desert area.
04:37
Did you reacquire that?
04:41
And everyone, yeah, 104.
04:43
Are you that building right there where the workforce and the people working we're at?
