36 to radio. Go ahead. I ended up locating the casing that was fired. It's right outside the front door of this residence.

Copy. Just a quick update. Apparently, he's in the basement, missing a gun in his right hand. We're just trying to figure out what exactly that we have. Are you reading with the Sam 33 or Sam 34? You guys copying this traffic? 34, we're monitoring. Yeah, 36 to Sam 34. Currently have bag menacing, but the male is still inside the house. She's still inside.
