Scene is still Active. We have multi reports of multiple shooters. Please avoid area police conducting search of a very large area. Media staging will be given when area is secure.
“We have multi reports of multiple shooters.”
If said reports were prior to cops’ arrival at 6 minute mark, then callers could not possibly have confused police with shooters.
OTOH, this can be dispatchers’ errors. Caller reports hearing shots. Dispatcher asks location of caller. Multiple callers at multiple locations could be hearing / reporting the *same* shots /shooter.
