From the transcript
This particular case is one of those incidents where we had a lot of time we had a lot of resources that we brought out. We did all the right things. And at the end of the day, we still sometimes get in a position where we're reacting to somebody that's in front of us, no matter how well we prepare to go into the incident that we're facing. Earlier this afternoon at approximately 1:34, we received a call from the Adelaide, which is a multi-unit living facility at 9th and Cordova. Regarding an intoxicated adult female threatening suicide by gun.
