08:39I feel like I wasn't there for you.
08:41I was trying to grab on.
08:43I had to.
08:45He was going to shoot us.
08:47He was going to shoot us.
08:51Look at me.
08:53You're okay.
08:55He pulled a gun on us.
08:57Look at me.
08:59You're okay.
09:05Get away.
09:07Get back.
09:09Shut up.

09:57Get him.
09:59He didn't do shit.
10:01What'd you hear?
10:03It's okay.
10:05That's why I got fucking scratch marks all over him.
10:07He tried to fucking get away.
10:11Fuck.
10:13He fucking pulled that scratchy shit out of me.
10:23Be my partner.
10:25I gotta get out of here.

11:05It's okay.
11:07You're okay.
11:09You did the right thing.
11:11He pointed a gun at us.
11:13He did?
11:15Yeah.
11:17I don't know.
11:19What?
11:21He don't care shit on him.
11:23He don't save him.
11:25He don't do shit.
11:27I'm answering.
11:29He went to sleep.
11:31I'm locking him on the car.
11:33He pulled.
11:35390.
11:39390.
11:45390.
11:47I need to go.
11:49390.
12:13390.
12:15I need to speak with 300.
12:19390.
12:21Just have her call me on my cell.
12:23It's important.
12:25Call the scene.
12:27Okay, commander.
12:29I got the officer who did the shooting.
12:31I had to get away from the scene.
12:33He was coming after you.
12:35Where are you at?
12:37Do you want me to head toward the area?
12:39I'm on 75th and the field.
12:41Okay.
12:43I'm away from the scene.
12:45I'm about 75th and Euclid right now.
12:47It's okay.
12:49It's okay.
12:51Listen.
12:53It's okay.
12:55I need you to relax.
12:57I just need to get you away from that scene.
12:59You're good.
13:01Listen.
13:03You are okay.
13:05You are okay.
13:07You did nothing wrong.
13:09I want to make sure you know that.
13:11It's okay.
13:13It's okay.
13:15Is he alive?
13:25It's on camera.
13:27I shot.
13:33No.
13:35No.
13:37Can I get out of here?
13:39Stay on.
13:53You're okay.
13:55He had a gun.
13:57He was going to kill us.
13:59I thought I was going to die.
14:03It's okay.
14:05He did the right thing.
14:07I need to speak to the commander.
14:09I mean lieutenant.
14:11You're okay.
14:13I'm here.
14:15I'm not leaving you.
14:17You did the right thing.
14:19I thought I was going to die.
14:21I thought I was not going home with my kids.
14:23I'm pissed that I didn't do this.
14:29It's so sad.
14:31It is so sad.
14:33It's sad.
14:35He was all that.
14:37He was all that for truth.
14:51You want him to get rid of the body?
14:53He's deceased.
14:55Take him off the scene.
14:57It's a hostile scene right now.
15:01I went behind that car.
15:03I thought I was gonna be- you did the fucking- you saved everyone. You saved my fucking life.
15:07You know that, right?
15:10Go ahead.
15:12I don't know what y'all are doing to the city, bro.
15:14You- you killed somebody who's the same color as you.
15:17I'm assigning 314. Metro has been notified to stop the train.
15:21Okay, thanks.
15:23Okay, thanks.
15:25As soon as Jones asked him if he had concealed carry.
15:29I'm assigning 314 as the paper current.
15:32I don't want somebody to come and try to- you know, while we're sitting here.
15:34Yeah, I know.
15:36Should we go somewhere?
15:38I'm trying to take y'all to the area, but the commander didn't say nothing, so let me-
15:40Yeah, cause I don't-
15:42Where's my phone?
15:44I don't want you guys out here.
15:46Alright, that's cool. Can we just stay in the car?
15:48Yeah, maybe we should be in the car, though.
15:50Or in an alley or something.
15:52This is a lot of traffic right here.
15:56We ain't going nowhere.
16:02We can't go in no alleys.
16:04Well, I know, but like here, there's a lot of traffic here.
16:08Well, the thing is, they don't know you in this car.
16:10That's the only reason why.
16:12I only stopped because I told the commander where we were.
16:14So let me see if I can get in touch with her right now.
16:22I didn't want to say over the air where I was.
16:24I couldn't let him shoot around.
16:26Right, right. I got you.
16:28That boy right there, that was a mobster.
16:30No drug dealing, no gangbanging.
16:32Everyday bombing, man.
16:34He just walked up on you guys?
16:36He walked right past us, me, Tan, and him.
16:38And I said, he's got a gun.
16:40And then Jones, we tried to stop him.
16:42Jones goes, you got concealed carry?
16:44That's when he scratched the shit out of me.
16:46I had him off, and I fucking didn't get him.
16:48That's okay. That's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
16:54You all didn't do anything wrong.
16:56I want you all to know that.
17:00She got answered.
17:02In 314, when you get a chance,
17:04I'm going to need an address
17:06that we're going to use.
17:08What the fuck y'all need to yell and pray for?
17:10We know what y'all did.
17:12Y'all know what y'all did.
17:14That's why the goddamn officer y'all wish no way.
17:16What the fuck is this?
17:20Where y'all going, sir?
17:22We're going to the store.
17:24You can't go past this line.
17:26You got to go around.
17:30Keep on going, sir.
17:32Keep on going, sir.
17:34...side of the tracks.
17:36We need the train or equipment
17:38to stop the train in both directions.
17:40Don't turn your camera on.
17:42I can do that. What's the location?
17:44Do not talk.
17:50He is my people.
17:52He just left work.
17:54Step over.
17:56Talk to that sergeant.
17:58Can we push him back in?
18:00Everybody, keep working.
18:02Keep working.
18:04Sergeant told me to come talk to you.
18:06Okay, but you can't come through the red crime scene tape.
18:08You can come talk to me,
18:10but you can't come through the red tape.
18:14You got to stay in the red tape.
18:16Is that him?
18:18Is that him?
18:20Yeah, that's him.
18:22Where are we going to?
18:24To where?
18:28That's some bullshit right there, man.
18:30It's crazy how y'all can do so wrong
18:32and just be so calm about it.
18:34That's crazy, man.
18:36Y'all people just straight up
18:38kill somebody and go home for it.
18:42I'm stepping up here for the job site, man.
18:44They just killed Snoop.
18:48They just killed Snoop, man.
18:50He just lined me up, bro.
18:52He's laying in the street
18:54right now, man.
19:00Where?
19:02We can't transport dead people.
19:04You mean just because
19:06to get them out of here?
19:08They said he was rich.
19:10Snoop ain't got no gun, man.
19:12He just left work.
19:14I just seen him take his smock off,
19:16put a t-shirt on.
19:18He had nothing on him.
19:20Can someone tell me,
19:22do we have any injured officers on scene?
19:24Negative squad.
19:2690, I need an ambulance
19:28here at 7-4 and Stoney.
19:30Just send me an ambulance, please.
19:34We're asking for another ambulance
19:36at 7-4 and Stoney.
19:40320.
19:4220.
19:44Move that vehicle 7-3-7-9.
19:46Outside number 7-3-7-9.
19:50We're driving outside 7-3-7-9.
19:52I didn't hear, did they
19:54give it to somebody else?
19:56Did they get a paper to somebody else?
19:58I think they did. I want to say 14, but I can't swear to it, ma'am.
20:02Why would you kill somebody's father?
20:04Somebody's uncle?
20:06Somebody's cousin?
20:08320, move that vehicle.
20:12300, go ahead.
20:14Julie ends up giving that paper to
20:1614.
20:1814.
20:20Yeah, thanks.
20:22She gave the paper to who, us?
20:24Who's 14? We're 14.
20:26We just got here.
20:28We gave it to
20:30because they were up here on foot.
20:3243, you got that outside?
20:347-3-7-9.
20:38Where did you want 43 at?
20:40You got outside 7-3-7-9.
20:42Okay, I'm talking with him now.
20:44So what we got?
20:46He's got a phone.
20:483-14.
20:5214, go.
20:54But right now,
20:56we got a call to 0-1-1-0
20:58and we're going to do the updates.
21:04All the SOC is on scene, so
21:06our commander is on scene.
21:08So we're going to call him, notify him now.
21:10Call three deaths and we're going to do the updates.
21:12Send an RD to my boss.

21:203-4-1-0.
21:223-4-1-0.
21:243-4-1-0.
21:26I don't know anything.
21:28See if there's a name or ID on him.
21:30I got a name on his ID.
21:323-4-3. They're going to be following ambulances.
21:34I guess Holly's the only one that's shot,
21:36but he drew the gun out on Holly.
21:40He drew a gun out on Holly.
21:42That's what they're saying.
21:443-4-3.
21:463-4-3.
21:48He's on 32.
21:52Taking a JP for right now.
21:54I need a car to sit on him.
21:56At JP.
22:06What was that?
22:08Car.
22:14What EMS is this?
22:22What EMS are you on?
22:28All right.
22:30Where you got that 43?
22:34All right.
22:36Handcuffs are mine on him.
22:38Write this down.
22:40This is the guy who's in the ambulance.
22:443-4-3. Stop right there.
22:46Wait for the ambulance.
22:52What's his date of birth?
22:54Careful.
23:143-4-3.
23:16Mail M-1-6.
23:183-4-3.
23:20They're going to be following ambulance 50.
23:22They're going to jack the pucks.
23:243-4-3.
23:26I was trying to call it out.
23:28I threw my turn.
23:30I went to get out because I saw him dart this way
23:32and that's when he dropped.
23:34Okay.
23:36Sorry.
23:38What I'm saying is you didn't discharge your weapon.
23:40No.
23:42When we shot him, you got shot.
23:44No.
23:46I don't think he ever got a round off.
23:48But I'm just saying, did we shoot him?
23:50Yeah.
23:52We were right here.
23:54Everybody was lined up right there.
23:56I went to stop him and he went through the car.
23:58Just calm down.
24:00I'm not right.
24:02I'm just trying to say
24:04because we got the paper, which officer shot him?
24:06I don't know.
24:08He doesn't know either.
24:10You can ask him, though.
24:12We're on camera, by the way.
24:14Oh.
24:16This is weird.
24:18We can't do this.
24:20We always can't.
24:22Let me just talk to the command.
24:26This is his.
24:28There's bullets over here, too.
24:30I don't know if that's his, but I just let you know.
24:32Yeah.
24:34Just leave everything alone.
24:36Don't touch anything.
24:38Don't touch anything.
24:40Hey, Sarge.
24:42Hey, Sarge.
24:44Victim's FOIA card is over there.
