119. Any units that talk to any witnesses, are they confirmed any kind of shooting or just that they fell off the bridge?
04:55
Confirmed, we've had multiple say he was sitting on the edge, the next thing they knew, like,
05:00
sitting on the edge outside of the railing, and then they heard two to three gunshots,
05:04
and then he fell over,
05:06
drop it down headfirst.
05:10
If that's the big four bridge, then you got multiple views saying that we need to shut down the bridge from our side.
05:14
Radio,

They might make contact with the guy with the scooter that's coming down River Road. He said he was going to talk to some officers.
05:53
One beggar, he's with me. He's a witness subject.
05:57
He's saying the three gunshots are because he shot himself in both the legs and in the head.

06:48
The witness is between the two and three pillars.
06:58
We're up between the two and three pillars. We're in the area right here.
07:05
Rose K, reviews in the area.
07:09
119, I don't know if this is what you have happened on. No one has said it's a wider Hispanic male, possibly 30s, wearing a maroon, sweater, shirt,
07:19
possibly found themselves in the leg,
07:21
and maybe once the head after that, and then go there.
07:27
First count a wider Hispanic male in the 30s. Go ahead.
07:33
We have this on camera. He went off, looks like, almost directly in the middle of the bridge. I can get someone in a picture of this guy if they want it.
