Yes ma'am, there's a few people out here. They all said the shots came from grass. Well, I'm sorry they didn't see anything happen on 1800 Montgomery. That's okay, thank you. 22, can we have you receive? Got it. Can you do me a favor, raise housing authority and have someone from there give me a call since the video is currently....

What address are you in front of? She's sticking it out now. I'm looking down now. The incident started on Gray Street, and the individual was last seen north 118th Street towards Montgomery. We don't have a description of what the man looks like.

I expected a call from 1740 North Gratz. They're going to be in apartment B, and all they said is they heard gunshots, and then they saw a male fleeing south towards Cecil B. Moore. He had a gun in his hand. They didn't see him firing the gun. Did I have anything showing out there? So, PHA just called and stated that. That's correct. And, with you, FTP. Received that message.
