You can count other three are running, these are detectives, with the base and the fleet and star on the shoulder. They have been investigating. They have a photographer here taking pictures and they have four other detectives here investigate this the fact that there is in yellow crime scene tape, anywhere around here tells you, that they believe all of the evidence of what happened is inside of this town home here, three story town home. I can still see flashes going off inside with the lights. Maybe you can as well, as they take picture inside this house at 11 00 the call came in for two people shot.
