Re: Active shooter scenario

Yeah. One recent example:

911: Hello
Lady: My husband hit me
911: Ok police are on the way

I arrive, cape and all.

Me: What happened.
Lady: Husband hit me
Me: Why are you covered in blood
Lady: it's his blood - I cut him with a knife
Me: Because he hit you?
Lady: no, because he is cheating on me. I cut him, then he punched me to make me stop cutting him.

Yes. This happens all the time.

Keep in mind, someone may have seen you with a gun, and relayed that the LEOs. Big likelihood you will be detained and your weapon taken as evidence, especially if you pulled it.
I always hear things to the effect of "the cops believe whoever calls them first"...from your perspective, as an LEO, any truth to that? No matter what happens, though, I would call 911 myself.
In an active shooter scenario, there will be so much information coming across the radio -

You'll have dispatch relaying what's coming in the lines, officers forming impromptu entry teams, secondary teams forming and coming in, and command showing up and establishing an incident command post.

In a more normal scenario, we will arrive on scene with whatever information we have been given. However, we often find that the situation on scene is not what was originally described to us.
