Copy. Okay, so we're just going to be 21,079-21079. Thank you. You all. First copy, I broadcast for officer safety. (name withheld) Eastbound from 42nd in University is a dark-colored Dodge Charger with blackout plate by two males. It sounds like they had some kind of road rage dispute with another driver and they pulled a handgun on them. Again, when I've seen eastbound 42nd University, the dark Dodge Charger was blackout placed occupied by two males. One of them pulled a handgun on the caller after a road rage dispute broadcast 2140. This was about four to six hours out. I did offer several times to take him to catalyst. He declined. I did give him the number for TOs and for dispatch.
