83. 83. Did the caller witness somebody shoot from the vehicle? Because we're getting 16Fs over here. Wording on here, caller heard one shot. A person from the sidewalk fired a shot, AA Gray Chrysler. It sounds like maybe they meant to type at AA Gray Chrysler. Copy, because we just had another 16F go off somewhere around Cable and North Central. Alright, copy.

Anybody back here? Go ahead, Gunner. It was weird. It didn't really sound like a gunshot. It sounded more like a firework-ish. It was just reverberating off the buildings, but at first, I didn't even think it was a 43-8 when I heard it. Hey, we're here at Broad and 7th for that 5. We've been seeing sickness going off right around that area. Copy. Gunner, you can code 4. I'll check it out, myself and Wildermuth. I'm at McKinley and North Central right now, swing still.
