In favor. Okay, 720 Euclid. Our caller is (name withheld). He's going to be there waiting for us. He says his girlfriend, (name withheld), who's 30. She's female, was going to kill herself, and the caller says she has guns in the house. We're still trying to get further, I believe we're on the phone with an interpreter. Copy, he's 29th in Easton. Private 2, Charlotte, they should copy that. Do I do not? 20, 27 and NC5 are headed to 720 Euclid with a suicidal female that says she's going to kill herself. She does have guns in the house, unknown means, I believe. We have a bit of a language barrier, and we're working with an interpreter, I think. Copy. 220 and 227, the female's outside now. Female white shirt. Caller says he's never actually seen the guns. She just told him that she has guns. That's for a med supervisor. The dispatcher. She was not seeing gate five. And both cars, apparently, she went back inside the house and... The male did tell the call taker that she was threatening to kill herself by shooting herself. 60, 880. Go ahead. Go ahead. Hey, where are you out? I'll grab that water in the vest from you. We just got you to the shack up here this came from.
