607 Host the press conference
(Note: This chapter has a large part of the press conference)
Jimmy returned to the office and saw that Mark and Julia were there, so he directly arranged the task: "Mark, Julia, everyone is working overtime today, all clues and evidence are checked, and at the same time, a schematic map of the crime scene needs to be made, and there will be a press conference tomorrow afternoon, and all relevant information will be disclosed at that press conference for the three mass shootings." ”
Julia: "In such a hurry? There are still a lot of things on our side that have not been checked. ”
Jimmy shook his head: "The directors just met to decide, and the impact of three consecutive shootings is too great, otherwise they wouldn't have appeared in the conference room at the same time to discuss this case." ”
Mark: "Young, then we need extra support, it's definitely too late for us alone." ”
Jimmy: "I understand, I'm just going to tell you first, now I'll sort out all the content that needs to be investigated, I'll apply for technical support, I must get it done today, we'll check the information tomorrow morning, and the press conference will start in the afternoon." ”
Mark glanced at Julia, who shrugged her shoulders and turned her head to look at the computer screen, continuing to investigate. Mark nodded, and began to continue his investigation.
Jimmy saw what the two of them had arranged, turned around and left the office for Ruiz, but Ruiz was probably still on Dave's side, and Jimmy waited a while to see him return. Jimmy stopped him directly: "Ruiz, we need help." ”
Ruiz blinked, a little puzzled, just came out of the conference room, what's wrong? "What do you need?"
Jimmy: "In the technical department, the more people, the better, and today we need to summarize all the information, and the workload is too much. Oh, and I need you to contact the lab and the medical examiner's office to get our case on the top priority and make sure to report it today. ”
Ruiz frowned: "I don't have that many people to give you." ”
Jimmy: "I'm going to have enough people to gather information and make a map of the crime scene for tomorrow's press conference." ”
Ruiz nodded, he also understood that it was indeed a bit too anxious to directly set tomorrow's development conference at the meeting just now, and Jimmy would definitely not have time to sort out the information, "Okay, I'll call the technical department, you guys go find them." ”
Jimmy smiled and nodded: "Thank you, by the way, remember to remind them that they are expected to work overtime today." ”
Ruiz: "Alright, you can go back." ”
Jimmy went back to the office and counted the information they needed with Mark and Julia, in addition to the gunman's information, as well as the information of the dead and wounded, which needed to be coded and announced at the press conference, of course, it was selective, and it was inconvenient for the two children who died to be announced, it was too miserable.
After sorting out, the three of them went directly to the technical department, it was more convenient to investigate on their side, and it also saved the back and forth authorization, and Jimmy needed them to reconstruct the shooting scene diagram, which also needed to be dealt with, and it was three shooting scenes, and it was a lot of work.
Jimmy had arranged everything, so he had time to sit down and think about the draft for tomorrow's conference, but fortunately he had been in the public affairs office for a few months, and even if the manuscript he wrote was scrapped, he was at least familiar with the process of the conference and what he had to say.
In the evening, when Jimmy ordered the takeout for Mark was delivered, he took himself a spaghetti with ketchup and went back to his place, just make do with it, it just so happened that he wasn't very hungry right now.
However, Julia was a little uncomfortable when she saw the pasta, "Mark, this is for you, I'll go to instant noodles." ”
Mark wondered, "Huh? "What's wrong?" ”
Julia looked at a pizza next to her and shook her head again: "Well, I don't want to see red today, so I'd better eat instant noodles." After saying that, I went to the pantry, where there was a refrigerator and other food, but usually no one would touch it, it was far better to order a takeout to have a good meal.
Jimmy saw Julia go out and immediately shouted from behind, "Julia, bring me a cup of coffee." ”
Although the spirit is good, it is not bad to have a cup of bad coffee.
Jimmy: "Mark, is the report from the medical examiner's office here?" ”
Mark: "It's already in three, I've contacted it, and they'll send it all by 0:00 tonight." ”
Jimmy: "Very good, what about the second gunman?" ”
Mark: "Sure. The same retired military may have been recruited through the same channel as others. Yang, I'm worried that this matter is not over yet...... This Will Scott is most likely not behind it. ”
Jimmy: "Don't worry, if there is a follow-up to this matter, the people of the anti-terrorist team will get involved, and they have more resources than we do." ”
Mark: "Okay. ”
I was busy until midnight, and finally got most of the materials and information, and the technical department also submitted the rendered animated pictures of the three shooting scene simulations, which was the end.
It was too late, and Jimmy didn't go home, so they each found a place to rest, and Jimmy went home in the morning and slept for another three hours, then took a shower and changed his clothes, and went back to the office again.
In the afternoon, when the conference was about to begin, Jimmy rechecked the materials prepared by Mark and Julia before heading to the public affairs office, where a makeup artist would take care of him and communicate with Isabel in advance.
Today's speech was made by Jimmy himself, Isabel originally planned to check and adjust Jimmy, but it was really too late, Jimmy took it out at noon, and he could only take a general look at it, and there was no way to revise it in detail.
Isabel: "By the way, there are a lot of media at today's press conference, and the conference room space is limited, so we only allowed some of the media to participate, and some of them are waiting for us to submit the live video to them at the end of the press conference, relax, there are not as many people as you think." ”
Jimmy nodded and straightened his clothes, "How do I look?" ”
Isabel: "Great, let's go, we should go in." ”
In the conference room, all the chairs under the stage have been filled, and there is a circle of photographers holding cameras and cameras taking pictures and videos next to it, and this battle seems to be a little bigger than before.
Isabel first took the stage to introduce the theme of the conference, and then introduced the spokesperson this time, FBI senior agent Jimmy Young.
Jimmy came to the podium with the folder, first looked around at the reporter with a smile and then said: "Dear journalists, thank you for coming to today's press conference, I am the spokesperson Jimmy Yang this time, and I am also the head of the investigation team for three mass shootings in the recent period.
As the head of the investigation team, I would like to share with you some updates on the recent mass shootings.
In less than two weeks, we have faced three mass shootings in Brooklyn and Queens that have caused widespread concern and concern that have seriously threatened the safety and public order of our cities and communities.
In response to these three shootings, I am honored to announce that we have made an important breakthrough and that the suspects in all three shootings have been killed on the spot.
After the first Felix Park shooting in Brooklyn, we at the FBI and NYPD went all out to investigate.
In the first phase of the investigation, we found a shooting suspect through various technical means and visits, during our investigation, he and another gunman launched a second shooting in Beach Park, because the suspect was locked in time, we located the gunman at the scene of the shooting, and the gunman had an exchange of fire, and finally the two suspects were killed.
While we were investigating the social connections of the two gunmen, we found a third suspect, who we believe was behind the mass shooting, and conducted a detailed investigation into him.
Thankfully, by the time they launched their third shooting, we arrived at the scene within two minutes of the shooting and killed both gunmen at the Queens Zoo on the spot.
This marked the end of this series of shootings and brought new hope to the safety of New Yorkers.
Next, I will explain the details of these three mass shootings for you in detail, please see the big screen. ”
Jimmy stretched out his hand to signal Julia, who was operating a notebook next to her, to play a diagram of the crime scene that she had made overnight, and Jimmy gave a detailed account of the deaths and injuries in the case and information about the gunman.
This detailed description took up most of their press conference.
After the explanation, Jimmy motioned for Julia to turn off the content on the big screen and restart his closing remarks: "I want to emphasize here that the mission of the FBI is to protect the lives of every citizen, and we are not afraid of any challenge, and we are not afraid of any threat. No matter what kind of crime we face, we will resolutely fight to the end.
In the coming months, we will continue to closely monitor the follow-up of the case and work closely with the New York Police to ensure that every step of the way is properly handled.
In addition, we will also conduct an in-depth analysis of the case and analyze the motive of the crime from various angles, hoping to obtain more clues and information from it, so that the case can be solved more comprehensively.
I want to pay tribute to our team and the New York police. Their tenacity and selfless dedication have enabled us to withstand the stress of this case and successfully find a solution to the problem. Their courage and professionalism deserve the respect and gratitude of all of us.
Finally, I want to say thank you to all New Yorkers. Thank you for your support and trust, and thank you for your understanding and tolerance. We will continue to do our utmost to contribute to security and peace in New York. Our goal is for your peace, for the peace of all of us. Our mission is to protect you and protect us all.
I know you all have a lot of questions for us, and I'll do my best to answer them. I would like to invite all the reporters to ask questions one by one. ”
Entering the question-and-answer stage, Jimmy casually pointed to a reporter in the front row, and the reporter asked, "Can you tell us about the motives of these shooting suspects?" ”
Jimmy: "The specific motive of the suspect is still under investigation, and we are working with the authorities and other relevant agencies to gather evidence and intelligence to find more leads. ”
Jimmy casually pointed to another reporter for a question, and the reporter asked, "Does the FBI have sufficient evidence to identify the suspects in these three cases?" ”
Jimmy: "Yes, we collected a lot of evidence during the investigation, including surveillance footage, eyewitness testimony, and physical evidence, which was very strong in identifying the suspect. Next. ”
Reporter: "Are there any other suspects in these three cases who are still at large?" ”
Jimmy: "We believe we have succeeded in apprehending or killing all those suspected of committing crimes. After exhaustive investigation and follow-up, we have determined that these suspects are the only ones involved in these three cases, and there are no other accomplices. Next. ”
Reporter: "Were there any other people injured or arrested during this operation?" I noticed that the agent next to me appeared to have a head injury. ”
Jimmy: "Thank you for your question. In this operation, our first priority is to solve the case and protect the safety of the public. As for whether there are other injured or arrested people, I cannot disclose more details at this juncture, as the follow-up investigation of the case is still ongoing. Next. ”
Reporter: "Does the suspect belong to a criminal network or a terrorist organization?" ”
Jimmy: "That's a big question and one that we're focused on. We are conducting an in-depth investigation into the suspects' backgrounds to determine if they belong to a criminal network or terrorist organization. However, please understand that these investigations usually take time, and we will do our best to provide the most up-to-date information. Next. ”
Reporter: "You just mentioned that you work with other agencies, can you share how the FBI works together in such cases?" ”
Jimmy: "When it comes to serious crime and violence, the FBI has been working closely with various law enforcement agencies. Our partners include, but are not limited to, local police departments, state law enforcement agencies, and other federal investigative agencies. We have worked productively with the NYPD and other partners in this case. We share intelligence, resources, and expertise to form a strong team that works together to track down suspects and keep the public safe. Next. ”
Reporter: "In your briefing on the case, you only mentioned that the gunman was killed at the scene, so can we know who killed the gunman?" ”
Jimmy: "I know what you're asking, yes, it's me." Next. ”
Reporter: "Can you add details about your firefight?" ”
Jimmy: "I'm sorry, but it's not convenient to release some details at the moment, there are a lot of details that are still being investigated. Let's focus on the case. Next. ”
Reporter: "Does the FBI have any further plans for this series of cases?" ”
Jimmy: "Yes, we will continue to do our best to follow up on all the leads in this case to make sure nothing is missed. We will also work closely with the investigation team and law enforcement agencies to ensure the smooth implementation of the case. The FBI will remain committed to fighting crime and protecting the safety of the public. ”
……
Similar questions one after another, that is, Jimmy is already experienced, if he changes to Jimmy before going to the public affairs office, it is estimated that cold sweat will be streaming all over the ground at this time.
The reporter's initial questions were fine, most of them were related to the case, and then he asked him questions directly, still the same as before, hoping that he could disclose some personal information, including some big cases he had handled before.
Jimmy reluctantly refused to answer irrelevant content one by one, which can be regarded as suppressing the curiosity of these reporters, he looked at Isabel next to him, Isabel nodded, Jimmy smiled at the reporters and said: "Thank you very much for your participation and questions, we will continue to provide you with the latest progress and relevant information of the case." This concludes this press conference. Thank you! ”
With his final remarks, Jimmy lifted the microphone, packed up all the papers on the podium, and left the conference room with Isabel and the others before the reporters and photographers got up to leave.
They have enough news today, and they can even split it up and broadcast it on the news many times, which is a big gain.
