One of the male was on a scooter. Tom 2, it's going to be your victim that's most likely on the scooter, and the scooter is out there. We'll rescue them. Thank you. Alright, from what we're looking at, it looks like our shooter made it on that scooter. So, just do us a favor. Treat that as a crime scene. Try not to get everybody's fingerprints all over it.
