Nine minutes before high noon - I observe three girls flashing gang signs on the corner of the alley and my street. They also laugh and talk too loud for their own good. They then walk northbound on Ridgeway towards George. 911 was not called because they left too fast.

7:56pm - EMERGENCY on Zone 12. There's a 10-1 issued at 733 N Waller. 1530 needs ALL units to roll that way for a very, very large melee. All hell is breaking loose over there. You could hear the crowd in the background! It all started from a call of a person with a gun there. As 1530 arrives on scene, a big fight ensues at the scene. Within seconds, the fight was out of control, so that's why a 10-1 was given.

7:58pm - A slow down is given on the 10-1.

8:00pm - Dispatch attempts to call Beat car 2542 for a job, but he tells her that he's down there at the 10-1. That's good that a unit from 25 decided to go help the 15th district units.
