What you can do is call 911, leave the open line, and narrate your actions. It's all recorded, and the information will be relayed directly to the responding officers. The more information you are able to provide, the more effective their response will be. People simply call because they hear shots while running away. Most callers are panicky and aren't level headed enough to take a quick survey of the situation and relay vital information. 911 call takers have to sift through these calls to find the one caller with valuable information. Whether you engage or not, you have the ability to at least take up a defensive position that would allow you to play an important communication role in resolving the incident rapidly. You become the eyes and ears of the police without the risk of leading the charge. If you end up actively engaging a shooter with this open 911 line, the cavalry will come directly to you to reign down fire and brimstone.Ameer wrote:I plan to get the truck out of Dodge.
