Jimmy only shot the young man's arm, not in a fatal position. He simply tied a tourniquet and waited for the ambulance at the door.
By the time Jimmy escorted the young man to the hospital and returned to the police station, the news of his shooting had already spread in the headquarters. Jimmy's shooting is not a big deal. In less than a year, everyone has seen it a lot, but it is rare for him to only hurt his arm.
Jimmy filled out the case report, and then faced the pesky Internal Affairs investigation. However, this incident is very clear, and the suspect's father is also willing to testify that the suspect first pulled out a pistol to threaten and pointed at the police, and then Jimmy fired. This surprised Jimmy, because as a close relative, the old man could actually refuse to testify.
What saddens Jimmy the most is that although all the conditions were met this time and despite inquiries from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, his administrative leave was still cancelled. There was no reason, since there was no notice of leave anyway, Jimmy could only continue to work.
Time gradually came to the end of November and Thanksgiving Day arrived. Just like last year, Jimmy was still a member of the overtime workers on Thanksgiving Day.
Recently, Jimmy has obviously given up on the style of directly physically killing suspects. He almost always shoots in a non-threatening way, injuring his limbs or abdomen and shoulders, so that people in the police station have a big problem with Jimmy's evaluation. In a twist, the former black-hand butcher disappeared.
In fact, the main reason is that the recent cases are all trivial, and the suspected crimes are not fatal. Jimmy is not ready to kill everyone who poses a threat. Moreover, the frequency of the main gun 92F has increased significantly recently, although it is also 9mm. , but the .357 Magnum revolver has more charges, fast muzzle velocity, high kinetic energy, and greater damage. It has been rarely used recently.
Jimmy ordered takeout in advance. Although it was a holiday, Jimmy didn't prepare any special dinner, just pizza + salad + dessert + coffee. There will be exams in December. Jimmy has spent a lot of time recently to review what he has learned before. He plans to get 1/3 of the credits, and if he can get more in the second half of the year, he can apply for graduation in advance.
This is also preparation for promotion. Although the county police does not have mandatory requirements for promotion, a high school degree is definitely limited. A junior college degree from a community college is at least enough for the next promotion. This This is also one of the reasons why Jimmy is preparing to further his studies early.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the dispatch center came with a notice.
"A28, Street Shooting, North Precinct Requesting Backup, West 50th Street, Glen Street, North Little Rock, Channel 4."
"A28 received."
Jimmy packed his equipment and set off in the police car immediately. The place where the incident happened this time is a bit troublesome. There is a military base to the west of North Little Rock. When Kagg introduced him to Little Rock and the North Little Rock area, he once said that it would be difficult to deal with the base there, so try not to go there. . The location just reported by the dispatch center is nearby.
The county police headquarters is in Little Rock. To get to North Little Rock, you need to cross the Arkansas River. Jimmy drove for more than 40 minutes to get to the scene. He didn't find a police car at the intersection. He adjusted his walkie-talkie to channel 4. Jimmy shouted directly: "Call North District, A28 arrives at West 50th Street, please report location."
"West 54th Street Marion Crossing, over"
Jimmy glanced at the map in the car and continued running towards the target location. He rarely came to North Little Rock. The routes and terrain here were unfamiliar, and he needed to carry a map with him to determine the location.
Before I arrived, I saw police lights flashing. The Pulaski County Police Department has replaced the police lights on the police car. Now they are all LED lights. The alternating flashing police lights are much more dazzling than the previous halogen lights, but they are more eye-catching. It's obvious.
Jimmy parked the police car at the end of the queue, took out the M16 from the trunk, and ran towards the front. There were already several police officers targeting a house, and two police officers were shouting to the people in the house, asking them to come out and surrender. Of course, the suspect would definitely not give up everything and come out to surrender.
Jimmy came to the back of the police officers. They were all county police officers like Jimmy, belonging to the North Division. Jimmy usually had little contact with them, but he was familiar with the superintendent of the North Division. Elie, who used to be under Kag's command, Holly, was promoted to superintendent after institutional reform.
Jimmy: "Superintendent Alley, tell me what's going on. What do you need me to do?"
Avery: "After a shooting on the street and passers-by calling the police, we chased it here. The car over there was driven by the suspects. After hitting the telephone pole, they ran into the house here."
While listening to Avery's explanation of the case, Jimmy glanced at a car on the side of the road. The right side of the front of the car was dented and the telephone pole was tilted. It relied on the wires above to keep it from falling.
Avery continued: "Two people in the car entered the house in front. It was determined that there was a middle-aged woman and a child in the house. Now they were hijacked by the two of them. Both of them were armed with pistols. They attacked us before. Shots were fired and no police officers were injured. We can only surround and cannot rush in for the time being."
Jimmy: "What do you need me to do?"
Avery: "We need to solve the matter here as soon as possible. The base over there has called the police station. If we can't solve it, there will be trouble later. We must not let them get inside the base cordon."
Jimmy: "How many brothers are there behind the house? Is there an exit from the back?"
Avery: "2 brothers are in the back, there is a back door, there are no high points around, and we have no shooting angle."
Jimmy nodded and walked to the backyard from the side. It was obvious that he was going back to his old job. Avery obviously asked him to do the dirty work. When there are hostages, the police need to be very careful when shooting. The process cannot be wrong, and try not to accidentally injure the hostages, especially children.
On his way from the side to the backyard, Jimmy had a clear view of the structure and people in the house.
Two figures, one large and one small, are sitting on the ground. Looking at the shapes of things around them, they should be next to the sofa. And the two standing figures, one is next to the front window looking outside, and the other is next to the two seated figures looking outside. The form should be pointing a pistol at them.
When he was in front, Jimmy had already noticed that the curtains had been drawn on the windows. It seemed that there were some gaps on the sides of the curtains that allowed people inside to see outside.
The houses here are all single-story buildings, and the walls are generally made of hollow bricks. For large-caliber guns, passing through the wall is not a problem, but for pistols, it is really an insurmountable isolation zone.
Jimmy watched while designing a route to enter. He came to the backyard and saw two other police officers. After signaling with the flashlight, he stuck directly against the back wall of the house.
After carefully observing the back door, Jimmy gave up. When he looked from the side, he didn't notice that the back door was blocked. It looked like something like a crowbar was stuck on the handle, fixing the back door to the wall.
If you force a breakthrough, you will definitely alert the people inside, and there is no chance of entering quietly.
Superintendent Ailey and other police officers in front were still shouting, and the people inside did not pay attention to the back door. After all, the back door was blocked and there were no windows in the back. For them, the only danger was the front.
Jimmy continued to circle around the house. The houses in this kind of suburbs were not like those in urban areas. There would be various buildings that could be targeted from high places. For Jimmy, all he needed was actually a gun that could attack two people at the same time. Just the angle.
It seems that we can only attack from the front, and there are no routes from the side or the back.
Jimmy pressed the intercom. "Superintendent Avery, there is no way to get through the back door. We can only attack from the front, or shoot the people in the house from the side, but the angle is very bad and the hostages inside will be in danger."
Jimmy reported what he had observed, then made a half circle and returned to Superintendent Ailey.
Jimmy whispered to Avery, "Is there any way to get shock bombs or tear gas? If we want to storm, the hostages inside will definitely be in danger. I think we should call SWAT. At least their van is bulletproof and can be pushed into Be safe at the door."
Avery: "SWAT has already notified us, but it will take about half an hour for them to arrive, oh, it will still take 20 minutes now. As for shock bombs and tear gas, we don't have them, only SWAT has them."
Jimmy took off his hat and scratched his head. He could just wait 20 minutes. Since SWAT had arrived, he didn't have to risk rushing over. But if it can be done in advance, the hostages inside can be rescued early.
"Is it possible to borrow it from the base over there?" Jimmy made a gesture of reaching for it. Amy looked at Jimmy speechless. Jimmy thought too much. It's best not to deal with the base. Who wants to stab him? Hornet's nest……
"Wait for SWAT."
Jimmy shrugged, lying on the front of the Avery police car with the M16, and aimed at the window. The suspect just now was right next to the window Jimmy was aiming at, but it was behind the wall and other people couldn't see it.
Half an hour later, SWAT arrived. Two teams got out of the car. Avery came forward to communicate the situation. It took a few minutes to discuss the plan. Finally, Superintendent Avery shouted to the suspect in the house and issued an ultimatum.
Jimmy changed his position when SWAT arrived. He put the M16 back in the trunk, took out the M686 and went to the side of the house, observing the situation inside the house carefully. Now both suspects were at the window, but not at the same window. One to the left and one to the right, neither of them was next to the hostage.
With a good opportunity, Jimmy took a few steps back and came to the corner tangent. According to the position determined by his mind, if he shot from this angle, he could directly hit a suspect. If the SWAT could target another suspect from the other side, Can kill two people at the same time.
"Bang" and "crash", SWAT fired a tear gas canister, shattering the glass and hitting the room. After the tear gas canisters inside exploded, two more tear gas canisters entered the house.
Jimmy could see that the people inside were bending over and coughing. The two suspects had left their original positions and came to the middle of the house. From Jimmy's point of view, they could shoot directly, but because of the curtains, if Jimmy fired now , there is no way to explain it later. A great opportunity wasted.
One team of SWAT team members had already lined up at the front door with ballistic shields, while another team was leaning against the wall, waiting for the first team to enter before they could follow.
Jimmy came over from the side corner. At the end of the SWAT team standing in front of the door, the second team member fired a door-breaking bullet with a shotgun. The lock cylinder was knocked out. Then he kicked the door open and the shield-wielding team member opened the door. He held it in front of him and walked in.
One suspect fired at a SWAT team member. Due to the impact of tear gas, the accuracy was not very good. The shield was not hit. He was directly shot to death by the team members following him. When the other suspect broke through the door, he jumped directly to the hostages. , he did not raise his gun to aim at the SWAT people, but directly raised his gun to hold the middle-aged woman's head.
The two shots "bang" and "bang" were fired by Jimmy. He was completely unrestricted by his field of vision and had already discovered the suspect's movements when he opened the door. When SWAT killed one suspect, he had already crouched down and aimed his gun at the second suspect. The first shot hit the suspect's pistol. The suspect's pistol was lifted upward by the kinetic energy of the bullet. Jimmy's second shot directly hit the suspect. Hit in the eye, the suspect fell backwards without a chance to shoot.
The SWAT team members were tired of Jimmy trying to grab credit. When Jimmy stood behind them, they had already determined the identity of the Asian county police officer, otherwise they would not have let him follow.
In the previous LRPD case, two of three people were robbed by Jimmy, and this time two people were robbed of one more. Although it doesn't matter what the credit is, as a professional special police officer, it is embarrassing enough to be robbed twice after cooperating twice.
But they couldn't say anything. The news that there was a butcher in the county police had been circulating for half a year. Others didn't know the situation, but they knew the butcher's combat power.
During that siege of 5 people, 4 people were killed and one person escaped, as well as the subsequent review of that shootout, but they repeated it many times in their SWAT training. So far, no one has been able to complete the training of killing 4 people without injury. Target.
After Jimmy killed the second suspect, he stood up and walked towards the suspect's body. He raised his foot and kicked aside the pistol that fell on the ground. At the same time, he used the intercom to notify people outside to come in.
The county police from the North District Bureau outside also came in. Jimmy's matter was settled, and he was too lazy to do the rest. He said hello to Avery, then high-fived the SWAT people and left the house.
"Hey, Jimmy, wait a minute." A SWAT team leader came over.
"Jimmy, you're a good shooter, are you interested in coming to our place?" He got straight to the point. In fact, Jimmy didn't hate this method of communication. Everyone was so busy, so there was no need to be vain.
"Ha, I'm quite comfortable with the county police. If you need help, just call me for support."
"OK, I just want to ask, if you have nothing to do, you can come to our base and we can communicate."
Jimmy agreed casually, and then drove his police car to the police station.
American police are not all like in movies and TV shows. After the suspect takes hostages, the police dare not shoot. In fact, there are many cases in the United States that can be found online. The police directly shot and killed the suspect after taking hostages. There were also many cases where the hostages were injured, and some even died.
According to different police regulations in each state, there will be completely different handling plans. Some states will require the police to send negotiators to negotiate with the suspects in order to rescue the hostages. However, this rule does not apply to all states and all situations. I did not get the specific treatment plan for Arkansas. Everything is based on the situation in the novel.
Let’s briefly talk about the situation. Please don’t argue in the comment area about this issue.
