Around 9 p.m., near the dam bridge, Carmack, Red Roof Bar, people started coming in and out early on Christmas Eve, which is a time when there are many people.

A place like a bar is naturally a place where contradictions erupt, with alcohol stimulation plus music and different surnames, and there are always all kinds of people with bad brains making trouble in this kind of place.

Therefore, the Carmack Town Police Department has specially arranged for people to patrol the vicinity so that they can support here at any time.

For village and town police stations, the scope of their responsibility is also within the scope of villages and towns, because most of them are locals and acquaintances, so the work of the police is not busy in ordinary times.

Today, on Christmas Eve, it is clear that many people are willing to choose the meeting place in the bar, and since the beginning of the night, the police have mediated three disputes.

At 9 o'clock, a few more people were scolded and sent out by the bar security, and there were still a few people waiting outside to enter. At this time, these people and a man waiting outside suddenly clashed again, first one or two people pushed each other, and then turned into several groups of people beating the man, except for one person who called the police, the rest were just watching from the side.

Two Carmack policemen who received the notification from the dispatch center rushed to the scene, and several of the beaters scattered and fled, and the police could only chase one of them nearby.

The police environment is so bad, these offenders are always used to running apart, and the number of police is always less than these people, so they can only try their luck to chase one or two.

The Carmack police notified the dispatch center, and other surrounding police officers came to support, but there were three or four kittens and three police cars at the village police station, and after they chased a street, the suspect suddenly turned around and fired a shot at the police, and then continued to escape.

In this kind of fight, it is impossible for the police to come up and directly pull out their guns to empty the magazine, but they just chase behind with a flashlight, and suddenly they are shot by the suspect in front, although they did not hit anyone, but they were also startled, so they could only dodge, and notify the dispatch center of the suspect to shoot.

Now that the suspect has fired, they can't continue to recklessly chase after them, and can only hope that others can intercept them in front and notify the county police and surrounding city police to come to support.

Noah was on duty nearby today, and after receiving the notification from the dispatch center, he drove directly to Carmack. According to the address reported by the Carmack police, Noah stopped at the front intersection in advance, aimed a gun at the street, and when the suspect appeared, Noah shouted "Stop, don't move, Pulasky County Sheriff." ”

In response to him, there were several gunshots, the suspect saw the police car and shot directly at Noah, Noah was bent over and standing on the side of the front of the car, he had taught Jimmy before, only the engine and wheels of the police car could be completely bulletproof, but he couldn't solve the problem of the fairy gun, the suspect fired a few shots casually, only 1 shot hit the police car, and the other bullets basically flew, but one bullet directly hit Noah's right shoulder.

"FXXK, A47 Call Dispatch Center, code 999, Officer Shot, Need Backup, I Need Ambulance, Carmack."

Noah turned and sat on the ground, leaning on the front wheel, while the suspect who fired the shot continued to flee along the street.

The officer who followed behind received the notification and ran to the intersection to give Noah emergency treatment, while the other officer had already returned to drive and was now on his way to continue tracking the suspect.

As soon as the 999 code was issued, all the surrounding police officers rushed to this side, but it only took a few minutes, and the suspect had already run from Carmack to the Arkansas River.

After driving for a while, the police officer who was following behind had to abandon the police car and chase on foot. It's very close to the Arkansas River, and the suspect ran directly through the roadside barrier, and the police car can't cross this kind of place.

As the police gradually reported the suspect's location, the police car that arrived later also adjusted its position, trying to go around to the front to intercept the suspect who fired the gun.

The suspect's escape route pointed to the dam bridge, which was a walking path that police cars could not cross, so in order to avoid the police, he could only choose this scheme of shielding police cars to pursue him.

More than a dozen policemen were in place, the police car was parked outside the dam bridge, and the bridge was tracked on foot, and there were also police officers arranged by the dispatch center on the other side of the bridge.

That's when Jimmy arrived at the Dam Bridge, and he ran to the bridge with the other policemen, who were already in a commotion and the crowd was running in all directions.

Seeing that there were police on both sides, the suspect decisively abducted a passer-by and hid behind the hostage to confront the police.

Jimmy stood behind the police and pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the suspect. The surrounding tourists have not yet run away, and now shooting may cause very large casualties, and all the police officers can only surround from a distance, not daring to approach, waiting for the surrounding tourists to get out of the upcoming shootout as soon as possible.

Jimmy took advantage of this time to ask the police next to him which police station the officer who was shot was, and when he learned that it was the county police who was supporting, he already had a bad premonition, in the northwest division, Superintendent Kag and his team, that is, the patrol team where Jimmy was originally located, which were all acquaintances.

Jimmy pulls out his phone and calls Kag.

"Karg, I'm supporting at the Dam Bridge, who was shot? How's it going? ”

"It's Noah, he's been put in an ambulance, and I'm on my way to the dam bridge."

"You go to the hospital to see Noah first, Karg, don't worry, there are already a lot of people on this side of the dam bridge, no problem."

Jimmy hung up the phone and looked at the suspect who was taking hostages in the middle.

Noah was the most familiar police officer when Jimmy first entered the police station, because Noah took him for a long time, taught him how to use a gun, taught him how to handle crimes, how to deal with emergencies, how to protect himself safely, and evaluated him as an FTO for independent patrols.

Although he doesn't usually work with Noah, Jimmy has not forgotten Noah's help to him.

Now that Noah has been injured by this bastard, and now that the situation is unknown, Jimmy's anger comes out at once.

Jimmy walked directly to the side of the police in front, because this is a sidewalk, there is no cover, the current position of the police is actually very dangerous, the range of the pistol is still very long, this is undoubtedly within the range of the suspect's pistol.

Jimmy's heart-eye distance is not far enough, the distance between him and the suspect should be more than 20 meters at the moment, and the heart-eye distance is estimated to be no more than 15 meters after such a long period of use.

But even without the help of the mind, Jimmy's marksmanship was enough for him to shoot the suspect in the first place, and now he only had to wait for a moment, a moment for the suspect to remove the gun from the hostage's head.

The city police in front of him were still shouting to the suspect and asking him to release the hostage, and while the suspect's attention was attracted, Jimmy approached the suspect from the side, Jimmy, the suspect and the other police officers formed a triangular position, and the police on the other side of the dam bridge also approached after the tourists walked away and chased after the suspect.

The suspect looked left and right at the police, took the hostages to the side of the bridge, and put the hostages in front of him as a shield with his back against the guardrail.

The hostage was a woman, not tall, with the top of her head only covering the suspect's nose, and after the initial panic, she was now just crying in a low voice, and she didn't dare to move casually, so she could only block in front of him according to the suspect's request.

Jimmy keeps an eye on the suspect's hand, he will never allow the suspect to abandon the gun and surrender, and if the gun shows signs of moving, Jimmy will shoot him.

The confrontation continued, and although there was no one else around except the police, there were too many police officers here, and no one was willing to make the first decision to give up the hostages.

The suspect kept shaking his head left and right and looking at the policemen on both sides, his hand holding the gun was also shaking, originally he was just out with his friends for fun, how could a little quarrel develop into the way it is now? The suspect who was confused is now nervous to death, and he can only hold on to the broken ship of the hostage and dare not let go.

The police were still shouting for him to release the hostages and surrender, and everyone was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to break the deadlock.

The suspect pulled the hostage back a little, and even though he was already leaning against the railing, he still wanted to keep back.

"Let me go, you get out of the way, I have hostages, let me go." The suspect shouted, his voice trembling.

The hostage in the suspect's hand may have passed the initial adrenaline rush, and now when it dissipated, his legs suddenly went limp, and his body slid down, and the suspect immediately reached out to pull her up, and then it was too late, Jimmy kept staring at the suspect, did not participate in the shouting, and his gun line never left the suspect, just waiting for an opportunity.

Now the time has come, the hostage slide caused the suspect's head to leak out, and when the suspect reached out to pull the hostage, his muzzle had already left the hostage's head, "bang" shot, Jimmy shot directly from the side of the suspect's nose, the suspect spurted a piece of blood from the back of the head, the upper body leaned back, and fell directly from the guardrail, and the other policemen immediately ran forward, some of them went to support the hostage, and some of them lay on the guardrail to find the suspect who fell.

Jimmy stopped where he was, just put the revolver in his holster. He took out his phone and pressed the dial button directly, and called Kag again.

"Hey, Karg, are you at the hospital?"

"Well, it's here, Noah is now in the emergency room to treat the wound, and there is no life-threatening situation."

"It's great if it's okay, the matter here has been settled, I'll go back to the headquarters first."

Jimmy hung up the phone, turned around and walked to the bridge, he opened the door of the police car and picked up the radio to notify the dispatch center.

"A28 calls the dispatch center, the case has been processed, the 999 status is canceled."

"Roger, do you need an ambulance?"

"No, no one was hurt."

"Roger."

Jimmy put the radio away, took out a cigarette and a lighter from the glove box, and leaned back in the police car to smoke, and let the tension he had just felt a little relieved.

When he received the notification from Cag that it was Noah who was injured, he was very angry, and although he did not see the body of the suspect now, Jimmy was absolutely sure of the shot he had just shot, unless the suspect was not human, otherwise the brain was hit by a .357 Magnum bullet, and he was dead.

After a few minutes of rest, the policemen on the bridge also came down and left in their respective police cars, Jimmy was the first to return, but basically the last to leave. He was the only one who shot the whole time, and the pressure was all on his side, and no one else needed to rest like him to relieve the tension.

Back at the police station, Kag's phone call also happened.

"Jimmy, Noah is fine. The 9mm bullet used by the suspect pierced Noah's shoulder, and it is estimated that Noah will have to rest for 2-3 weeks. The doctor had cleaned his wound and was now resting in his room. ”

"Great, let me know when Noah wakes up, I'll go to the hospital to see him. By the way, Karg, tomorrow we need to go to the dam bridge to find the suspect's body, you can arrange it. ”

"Well, that's it first, I'm going back."

Jimmy hung up the phone and returned to his place, running back and forth, Jimmy's pizza was already cold, he picked it up and threw it in the microwave to heat it up, and continued to replenish his energy.

From noon to midnight to midnight, Jimmy only ate some snacks and sweets, and now he is hungry, although the pizza heated in the microwave is not as good as the freshly out of the oven, he can't care so much, and he doesn't know what moths will come out at night, so the most important thing is to quickly pad his stomach.

Just past midnight, Jimmy's call sign is suddenly mentioned in the dispatch center.

"A28, shooting, Highway 30 and 357, Interstate Park."

A new location, where Jimmy had barely been, south of Little Rock, was out of the city, surrounded by forests and uninhabited.

Jimmy drove out to the police and found the location of the park course half an hour later, and Allen, a police officer from the Southern District Bureau, was already on the scene.

Jimmy stopped the police car and walked to the side of the field, this is a baseball field, not a basketball court, the area is still very large, the police officer Alan is taking pictures, Jimmy said hello to Alan, and then saw the twisted body.

This is a white male corpse, with a large beard, no age can be seen, but the shape of the corpse is very awkward, the corpse is lying on its side, its hands and legs are twisted into anti-swastikas, the corpse has fatal wounds to the head, bullets have entered the back of the head, the forehead has ejected, and no obvious injuries have been found in other parts.

There was no visible blood on the ground, and it was probably not the first scene, but someone had been transported here.

"Alan, did you notify the coroner's office?"

"I've been informed, they're far away from here, and it's estimated that it will take more than ten minutes."

"Did the gunman find out?"

"No, the caretaker here heard a gunshot around 0:00, and I came after he called the police, and after searching for it, I found the body, and the gunshots didn't go off here.

The administrator did not come out to check after hearing the gunshot, but only called the police in the duty room and waited for us to come, so no trace of the gunman was found.

By the way, because it's Christmas, only one administrator is on duty today, and the others are not there. ”

Jimmy looked at the scene, and then looked around, it was very remote, surrounded by woods, and the course itself was in a park. In this environment, there is no way to investigate, and it can only be inferred from the deceased, which will have to wait for the coroner's examination.

"Allen, you continue to wait for the coroner, and I'll go back to the headquarters first and wait for the dispatch center to arrange other support tasks."

Jimmy also learned badly from Karg, this kind of case with no beginning and no end, anyway, there will be no results for a while and a half, so just wait for the autopsy report to determine the direction of the investigation, there is no need to spend it here now.
