One of our current or former LEO friends here on the forum may be able to shed a little more light on the reasons behind this.puma guy wrote:Far too little info to comment on the incident itself. However, I counted a minimum of 9 police vehicles in the parking lot responding to this incident and at least as many officers. There could have been more not visible in the aerial shot. Does any one but me wonder why it would necessitate that many of the area's law enforcement being pulled out of action to handle this. Before anyone thinks I'm anti police - I'm not and am in fact a big supporter of LEO's. I just can't imagine why it would take this many to handle it.
ETA: Jusme beat me too it, but yeah.
LEOs are just crazy, who else would drive as fast as possible to get to where there is live gunfire?
No it is just a common practice that shots fired calls get highest priority. Everything else gets put on hold. and the radio channels are usually locked for all calls not pertaining to that call. Usually all available agencies will respond, Local PD, County Sheriff, State Troopers, and I have even seen Game Wardens.
