It puzzles me is that only one gun was mentioned, which Erik Scott carried IWB. Previous versions of the story report two handguns.

Also, I am wondering about the so-called "irratic behavior" of Erik Scott. It doesn't see to be on the 911 call and they have no witnesses that reported any behavior out of the ordinary. Where and when did this information appear?

I listened to the complete LV police scanner tape last night. There was voice traffic by some officer reporting that the manager (or management type person) said that Scott was behaving erratically. There was also a report on the tape that some management type in the store was on a land-line with the police describing where Scott was, and descriptions of him and his girlfriend. Voice traffic also states several time he had a 413 (firearm) tucked in the back of his pants.

What shocks me no end is how casually the ambulance was summoned. I did not time how long it was between "shots fired" and the ambulance showed up...but it was w-a-a-y too long. This in spite of the fact that the police had requested a medical unit to be on standby either across the street or within a block of Costco.

Then there is the shocking report from the scene that the subject is in custody! Again this was over 5 minutes after "shots fired".

You have to take the time to listen to the whole thing.

I am thinking the costco store mgr. was saying that Erick Scott was the one that was the Green Beret and carrying a weapon. That could have amped up the EB scale a little bit to get the cops there faster. A person being a green beret and brandishing a weapon is terrorising the store.

At 6:04 minutes, the dispatcher says that the manager is a Green Beret and is allowed to carry a 413 [handgun]. He is throwing merchandise around and acting fidgety.

Why had the manager already come up to him and told him to leave at least ten minutes before and he wasn't gone yet? Stupid, fatal decision.

This reminds me of the hypothetical situation discussed a while back on another thread. You're eating at a restaurant and rudely wipe your mouth with your forearm, thus accidentally revealing your weapon. A manager sees it and asks you to leave. What do you do? Do you stop to pay first and risk them saying you didn't leave promptly? Do you leave and risk them saying you didn't pay and committed theft of service? In a grocery store setting, that isn't an issue because you haven't consumed anything. You can just walk right out, which is what Erik should have done.

I don't know what all the codes mean, but it sounded to me like some clown that works at Costco was way over exagerating the behavior of Eric. I suppose there are no videos of his eractic behavior? No videos of him pulling a gun on the cops? Who are we kidding here. The crooked LV cops are going to get away with killing this guy in cold blood. Sad part is, if he were black, the whole darned country would be screaming for justice. Kill a white guy in cold blood... no problemo! Makes me sick!

I think that the transcript is correct. Unless there is a glitch in the tape, that is what I heard on at 6:03 minutes on the tape.

Listen to it closely. The first word is cut off, but I'm pretty sure that's what the dispatcher said. I've listened to it over and over again, because the transcript doesn't make any sense.
