1 to 41, I thought the construction manager, he said they haven't been doing anything that would have mimicked gunfire. They also haven't heard anything or seen anything.

Police are contacting construction workers to confirm if their activities might have caused the ShotSpotter activation.

SPD Dispatch 1 (A1) · 0:31
The construction site over by James appears to be as usual. Are they able to advise if they were doing anything recently that would trigger these alerts? I'm going to try to make contact with one of the guys. I only see one worker in there, and he's on a machine right now. 10-4. Devaney to the SROs at Booker, obviously it's your choice, but I'm not seeing any indication that you guys need to stay on lockdown. 1 Boy 61, copy.

Police have checked the construction site and nearby playground but found no signs of gunfire activity.

Just signal 14, I also checked the picnic table and playground area in the middle of Janie's, and I don't see any activity out there.
SPD Dispatch 1 (A1) · 0:09
Has anybody checked the construction across from Janie's Gardens in, like, the 2000 block, the high 2000 block of Central?

Police received additional reports of gunshots nearby.

SPD Dispatch 1 (A1) · 0:31
Yeah, I've got more people in the 1400 block, 25th, saying they heard gunshots closer to, like, the corner of Lemon and MLK. 10-4, I'm Paul, show me. Alright, there's a white female on the track that doesn't look like anything suspicious. Justin, did you say you saw someone else going northbound? That might be who I was seeing. All I could make out was possible, like, blue clothing. It was pretty far from me. Yeah, 10-4. That white female is going to be pretty much just west of me in, like, the 2000 or 2100 block. She's got, like, blue jeans.

A person was observed walking northbound on the tracks, according to police.

SPD Dispatch 1 (A1) · 0:08
I do see a subject, looks like walking northbound on the tracks, probably closer to 22nd and Leon.

A witness on a bike also reported hearing gunshots. Police continue to investigate using a drone.

SPD Dispatch 1 (A1) · 0:18
There's another flag down over here on Leon who's advising he thought he heard gunshots as well, and he was on a bike. Yes, and possibly spoke with that guy. Copy. I'll just, like I said, I'll get it up in the air, and I'll check the tracks and stuff and make sure we don't have anything.

Police are deploying a drone to investigate the area for any signs of gunfire.

SPD Dispatch 1 (A1) · 0:30
Yeah, it might be closer to Janie's. I think I was mistaken. Somebody's saying that it was over by Janie's. Have you heard it? The latest multiple gunshot detection has a nearest location, so it should be pretty close to it, of 2457 North Lemon Avenue. 10-4. Chris, Justin, and whoever else just turned down here, you guys can float that way. I'm just going to pop the drone up over here and check the railroad tracks and stuff while you guys are driving in. Copy. Cap 197.

Reports suggest the gunshot sounds may be related to nearby construction activity.

38 to 41, just tripped again from multiple gunshots. So, Chris is here and it's probably that construction.
SPD Dispatch 1 (A1) · 0:13
