606 Finalize the launch
Jimmy pressed the intercom: "The suspect is down, safe, you guys hurry up." Released the walkie-talkie button, Jimmy didn't hear the "received" message from inside, he glanced at the walkie-talkie, it's not broken, forget it, don't care about them.
Jimmy took out his phone and dialed 911 to call the police, but got the news that someone had called the police and the patrol was coming, so he directly asked them to dispatch a few ambulances to come, which would save some time.
Mark and Julia weren't very far away, so they were the first to arrive, and Jimmy asked them to look at the two bodies over here, and he went to look at the scene of Will's shooting.
After Jimmy left, the NYPD patrol officers had arrived at the scene, and Mark and Julia showed their ID and told them to cordon off the scene, while the followers went to Jimmy's place in the back.
Mark put on gloves to remove the gunman's weapons, although they were dead, it was better to put the gun on the ground next to him, Julia stood next to the second gunman, looked at the blood on the ground and said, "Damn, this is not the right amount of blood." Mark, you come and see. ”
Mark didn't raise his head and said: "This one is the same, looking at the bullet hole, Yang should not use a 9mm bullet." Don't think so much, do our thing. ”
Mark had served in the military, and he had seen far more injuries than Julia.
When Jimmy saw the scene of the shooting, he couldn't help but regret that he should have shot Will in the head.
Eleven people were lying on the ground, and from what he could observe, at least four of them had stopped moving, including two children. Jimmy immediately began to inspect the people on the ground, and in the process of inspection, the NYPD patrol officers also arrived at the scene, and they were all shocked by the tragic situation.
"Hey, officer, let the ambulance come and save people first."
While inspecting, Jimmy shouted to the police officers who came from behind, this is much more serious than the previous two shootings, and the case is a big case with double digits, so I can't figure it out this time.
Ruiz receives a call from SRT, and they are again missing the shooting, and by the time they arrive, the two gunmen have already been shot dead by Jimmy.
Ruiz was also helpless, he arranged for the SRT personnel to return to the station, and by the way, arranged for the personnel of the forensic department to go to the scene to investigate and deal with it, and at the same time contacted the Brooklyn-Queens field office to maintain order at the scene, which is relatively close to them.
Ruiz called Jimmy and informed him of the arrangements on his side, and now he is waiting for the scene to be dealt with. This is the third mass shooting in more than a week, and if it weren't for the killing of two gunmen at the scene, this time it would not only be New York City that was stormed, the FBI would definitely not have been able to escape, and even the possibility of DHS being directly involved could not be ruled out.
Ruiz is also in a good mood now, the FBI agent arrived at the scene 1-2 minutes after the shooting, and the scene to fight the gunman and kill the other party, is already a very competent thing, and it can even be said that it is an excellent response.
Jimmy arranged for the NYPD to be locked down at the scene to prevent ordinary citizens and journalists from entering the scene of the shooting, and then returned to the place where Will was killed, "Mark, Julia, you go and cooperate with them in the scene investigation, remember to arrange for the forensic department to check the bullet marks and compare them with the bullet in the first park shooting." ”
Mark and Julia nodded and went to the scene of the shooting at the Children's Park, Jimmy needed them to increase their experience in on-site investigation, and they knew that Jimmy's assignment must be good for them, and they didn't refuse or have any other opinions at all.
Jimmy looked around, now the police have used two police cars to stop left and right, pulled a cordon, there is a group of people standing outside the line, some are coming to watch, some are after the previous shooting and ran a short distance back, and a few people are holding cameras to film, it seems that these reporters who are running outside are really well-informed, it is only a long time, they have arrived.
"Hey, Agent Yang, can you tell us about the case?"
Jimmy hears someone calling for himself and turns his head to see a man with a video camera waving at him. He knew his name, and it seemed that he had either attended previous FBI public press conferences or had followed previous news.
Jimmy thought for a moment and walked over, "I'm sorry, I can't release the case right now, it's currently under investigation." …… Needless to say, the FBI Manhattan office will hold a press conference, so please pay attention to the announcement of the Office of Public Affairs. ”
After saying that, he turned to leave, just these two sentences were enough for them to send back to the TV station to make breaking news, and they could cope with it, and the rest of the press conference would have to talk to Ruiz and Madame Mason after he returned.
Jimmy thought about it and called Ruiz, no matter what, the laboratory must give top priority to the comparison of bullet marks, more than three shootings a week, and no more full case press conference, from the media to the public, to government departments and federal agencies will come to find trouble.
While staying on the scene, Kevin's phone called, "Jimmy, how are you?" Are there any injuries? And what happened to the shooting at the children's park? ”
Jimmy: "Did you get the news from there?" The two gunmen were killed on the spot, and now that the ambulance has taken all the injured to the hospital, it should not be a big problem. Don't worry about me, everything is fine on my end. ”
Kevin: "You killed it, right?" How many dead and wounded this time? ”
Jimmy: "Four dead and seven wounded, but there is one estimate that is enough, the location where he was shot is very close to the heart, and the location where the others were injured is not too fatal." But there are two children......"
Kevin: "I see, when are you going to have a press conference?" The previous press conference held by the FBI only said a little information, and this time two people were killed on the spot, so it should be possible to hold a full press conference, right? ”
Jimmy: "I'm still there, and when I get back and talk to the others, if there's no connection to the shooting, we can have a separate press conference." There's no problem, you can just push this case to the FBI. ”
Kevin: "I see. ”
Jimmy hung up the phone and thought about it, and called Nia too, she must have known about the case, and making a call made her feel at ease, so as not to worry about it.
With the Forensic Section on the scene and support agents in place, Jimmy beckons Mark and Julia back to the Manhattan office.
The two of them had a heavier task this time, requiring the identification of all the dead and wounded at the scene, as well as the identification of the other gunman.
As for Jimmy, his affairs are the most troublesome, and when I go back, I have to communicate with other people about how to hold the press conference, and the people who will develop this time will be more stressful.
Ruiz was already waiting for Jimmy in the office, Jimmy arrived at his office and pulled people upstairs, this time the case was bigger, and the leaders upstairs had been notified that they had come to the conference room of the public affairs office.
Dave Hudson, the director of the Manhattan office, and John Thompson, the director of the Manhattan office, Mrs. Mason and assistant Isabel of the public affairs office, the director of the OPR, David Martin, plus the assistant director of the special services, Ruiz, and the client, Jimmy, this room is really very well packed.
Dave: "Jimmy, you're responsible for this shooting, right?" Let's start with the current situation. ”
Jimmy: "OK, guys, this shooting happened at the Children's Park next to the Queens Zoo, and the current casualty situation is four dead and seven wounded, and there is no update from the hospital yet. There were two gunmen, one of whom was Will Scott, the person involved in the other two shootings we had previously tracked, and the other person has not yet been identified, and Mark and Julia have been asked to investigate.
As it stands, the shooting is linked to the previous shooting at Felix Park in Brooklyn and the playground shooting at Beach Park.
The first is the Felix Park shooting, we deduced from the scene of the park shooting that the location of the gunman shot in the parking lot, based on the park surveillance and surrounding surveillance, we locked a sedan with a fake license plate, and then found a suspect, Daniel Brown, when we found the car.
He and Mark had a brief shootout, and we found several weapons in his home, one of which was confirmed to be the murder weapon in the park shooting, but the lab also found a problem that the bullet marks of two bullets did not match, so we speculated that they should have a second gunman.
While tracking down Daniel, we got his phone number from his family, and based on the location of the phone, it was determined that he was in Beach Park, and I chased after Mark and Julia, and later we found Daniel Brown at the playground, and when they opened fire on visitors, we shot Daniel Brown and the second gunman in this shooting, Joseph Carter.
Since Joseph and Daniel are both veterans, we were worried that there were other people behind them, so we investigated their relationship from VA and other sources, as well as their family and friends, and finally we found a person who had a relationship with Joseph, who was Will Scott in this shooting.
The investigation of Will also has results today, we got a mobile phone number of Will, according to the location found that he also appeared in the park, because of the first two cases, we suspected that they might continue to attack, so immediately rushed to his location, and then it happened that there was a shooting, according to the guidance of passers-by, I found Will and the second shooter who was leaving the scene of the shooting, and then had a shootout with them.
Because they all used rifles, they did not spare their hands when dealing with them, and killed them on the spot.
Arrangements are now being made for an urgent bullet mark match in the lab, on the one hand, to determine if there were only two of them in today's shooting, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to determine if the second shooter in the first Felix Park shooting was one of them.
That's the case. ”
OPR Director David Martin spoke first: "Jimmy, are you the one who killed the suspect in the shooting twice?" ”
Jimmy nodded: "That's right, our homicide team is here for the shooting at the Beach Park playground, but I searched inside the playground, and Mark and Julia blocked the exit outside, so they came a little late."
I was the first to arrive at the scene of this Queens shooting, and with two rifles pressed, I couldn't wait for anyone else to come or else it could cause more serious injuries or even serious injuries to others. ”
David Martin: "With your gun?" ”
Jimmy: "Well, Glock and my spare revolver. He unbuttoned his clothes and showed David Martin the holster under his armpit, "The spare revolver has been reported in the bureau." ”
David Martin nodded to Dave, signaling that there was no problem on his side.
Dave looked at John Thompson, and John's question was not for Jimmy, but for Ruiz: "Ruiz, why wasn't the shooting handed over to the anti-terrorism squad?" ”
Ruiz: "The Felix Park shooting was supposed to be investigated by the NYPD, and they handed it over, and three people died, and it wasn't sure at the time it was a terrorist attack, so the case was handed over to the homicide squad.
The subsequent Beach Park shooting and today's Queens shooting are both related cases, and the time is very tight, and the previous investigations were all handled by Jimmy, so there was no subsequent handover. ”
John: "And now?" ”
Ruiz: "I think we need to wait for the results of today's investigation, we need to identify the second shooter and see if they are related to the first shooting in the park, if all the shooters have been killed, then the case can be closed, and if there are any omissions, then we can pass it on to the counter-terrorism team and do more investigation into their information." ”
John looked at Jimmy, "Jimmy, what do you think?" ”
Jimmy: "I agree with Ruiz that if there is a follow-up to this case, we can hand it over. ”
John looked at Dave, "Dave, what do you think?" ”
Dave nodded, "Mrs. Mason, when will you be ready to speak for the press conference?" When can I hold a press conference? ”
Mrs. Mason: "It's best to get all the evidence clear as soon as possible, three mass shootings in a row have caused a lot of panic, and we need to have a press conference on the full case." ”
Dave: "Okay, that's it, Ruiz, arrange for someone to support Jimmy and get all the clues investigated today." Mrs. Mason, tomorrow afternoon there will be a briefing on the case, and you will arrange it. ”
Mrs. Mason nodded, then looked at Jimmy, "Jimmy, are you here to be the speaker for this press conference?" You are the person in charge of the case. ”
Jimmy looked at Mrs. Mason in surprise, then at Dave, "Me? ”
Dave: "Okay, get ready. Meeting. John, Ruiz, come to my office. ”
Dave settled down, and Mrs. Mason nodded to Jimmy, got up and left the room, and soon Jimmy was left alone.
When he was in the public affairs office before, Jimmy didn't take the turn to be a spokesperson, and he went up to experience it when he was about to leave, which can be regarded as a transfer benefit, but why this time?
Sitting in the conference room and thinking about it for a while, I really couldn't figure out who arranged it later, there was no way, Jimmy gave up, and took advantage of the day to think about what to say when the time came, this matter was too troublesome.
Leaving the conference room, Jimmy went to Mrs. Mason's to say hello, after all, he had been working under her for months, and he couldn't go out and not come back, and then returned to his office.
