Alright, you'll just watch your crossbar. I'm out here on the north line by like the corner of the building. Alright, he just tucked into the south corridor, I guess, of the building there. We challenged him with verbal commands and he just ducked back into the building further.

Alright, he's in the apartment building just to the west of the playground. Could you all see whether he was still armed? He's waving, he's got the gun slung around his neck. His hands are up, but he's got the gun slung around his neck.
