Now that I've had a few days to decompress.....


....I can talk a little bit about a shootout we were involved in on Thursday. In the process of serving a warrant with the District Attorney Police, two suspects barricaded in an apartment shot approximately 30 rounds of .223 through the front door of the apartment as verbal notice was made that we were there pursuant to the warrant. A shootout occurred that lasted hours. They shot through the front door, out windows, etc. Shots were fired back at them as well. Seventy pounds of methamphetamine, multiple illegal firearms and thousands of dollars were seized from the apartment. The incident began around 1730 hours and most of us didn't leave the scene until 2330 hours. The two suspects eventually surrendered (...basically because they ran out of ammunition). The scene was held by Homicide until 1400 hours Friday. It was one of those shifts where you really start to recognize your mortality and life flashes before your eyes. Thankfully neither me nor any of my partners were injured.
