Thank you. Go ahead. Andrews is near South 8 Mile Road, across the town line 14, and Rod Dix Drive. We spoke to a wife and a son. They're struggling with their dad who is possibly having dementia and is trying to break into their gun case and is suicidal.

The son is physically restraining dad when we were on TX. We also got a phone call from an elderly male just requesting police out at this area and then hung up the phone. Currently there's no weapons out, but I believe the son is still physically restraining dad or keeping him away from the gun cabin.
