K, Dan. What's it, 24 Charlie, what do you need? I got fireboard right next to me. You need a ladder brought down. Start getting up to the top roof or the, uh, right above the porches. Uh, second story. 24 Charlie, we need it right here on this, um, you see the orange house on the corner? The white house right next to it, right on the corner, the ladder right up to that. We're going to have two people come out from upstairs on the properties and walk down it.

Hello just an update: there was a lot of speculations on the situation. From my understanding, nobody was hurt or shot. The man was high or intoxicated on drugs/alcohol. He was armed with a gun and broke into a residence that had women and children inside and barricaded himself inside the home. All of the people made it out the home safely, and the man was apprehended by SWAT. Nobody was injured.
