Hey Charlie, description for you, you're supposed to be shot with a... It's a video of him getting shot? The victim or the doer? Video that they are saying was shot. Okay, I'm ready. Command, give me a call before you put anything over the air real quick. Charlie, okay. Be advised, there's a slight language barrier.

Okay, any scene or anything? Command, does he at least have a time frame? There's no scene right now. Okay, from? What time is he saying this occurred? 40 minutes. Alright, have him show you video, please, and see if this is actually a shooting. And then radio, there's been no walk-ins to any hospitals, correct? Correct. Charlie, I got him doing a video now. What was your last message? Check for a gunshot victim inside of the hospital. I'm sending a message around just in case he goes to another area.
