News reports when the flight restriction was called off 2 hours later stated otherwise.
They said that it was standard flight restriction to allow police copters unemcumbered access without running into looky-loos.
If they were only shooting at the police copters then why restrict civilian planes that they weren’t shooting at???
Furthermore if there was shooting going on then why call it off after only 2 hours.
Brian is mistaken
Brian is the official Police spokesperson, the PIO for that organization. News iorganizations are not official sources.
Plus, there have been more than one set of NOTAMS issued pertaining to flight restrictions, and they were not canceled after 2 hours.
