We asked the supervisor if there was any injuries, he wont not confirm no r deny anything. I asked about suspect information, again he wouldn’t say anything. I asked if there would be a blotter, he said possibly. As of 3 am, there still is no blotter on the incident. We have called the media line, like we were directed to do so. And no answer.
