North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 328 Terrorist attack?

Jimmy and Ruiz separated. He went to the police station to find Detective Chuck. He synchronized the results of his investigation with Chuck and suggested that he investigate the Haitians, especially women, near Brooks Prospect Park. After making sure that nothing was missing,

Jimmy left the police station. Well, he was a little disappointed not to see Chuck's little follower Beniya today.

Jimmy returned to the Federal Plaza office. Instead of going back to his place, he went to Ruiz's place. It was also a mistake he suddenly remembered when he was just communicating the results with Chuck.

Jimmy: "Ruiz, do you have a spare surveillance team here?"

Ruiz thought for a moment: "No, they are all assigned. You know, there are too many gangs in New York. What's wrong?"

Jimmy: "When I was chatting with the NYPD detective about clues just now, I suddenly remembered that regardless of whether it is possible or not, G9's crocodile should monitor it for a day or two to see if he has tipped anyone off, although it may not necessarily be his.

It’s something people do.”

Ruiz shook his head: "Crocodile's reputation among these gangsters is pretty good, otherwise I wouldn't have left just like that. He probably didn't do it. As for the tip-off, I don't know about that. I'm here

We don’t have the manpower, why don’t you ask other people to take a look.”

Jimmy nodded, got up, returned to his office, and reported the progress to Chris. Chris was not surprised. This kind of inexplicable case with only a corpse and no available clues could not be solved so easily. Which police station didn't have a team of experts?

It's normal for all the cases to be piled up there and no longer processed.

Chris politely declined Jimmy's request for a surveillance team. Their team was not a preventive task force like Ruiz. There were no fixed surveillance team members available, and they were usually only available when there were clear clues.

They will apply for a monitoring team to carry out targeted monitoring and investigation. Jimmy's only some reasons for suspicion are not enough for them to mobilize a monitoring team with tight resources to start.

Jimmy is also helpless and can only continue fishing. There is no case for the time being, and the only case is still lack of clues.

As he got off work in the afternoon, the warning light on the office door suddenly turned on. Chris immediately picked up his clothes and stood up. "Let's go."

Jimmy immediately picked up his suit and followed, and Chris quickly came to Hughes' office.

"The NYPD has informed that a gunman has taken several students hostage at Dwight Middle School in Brooklyn. Now you go, go to the scene to see what is going on, and confirm whether it is a terrorist attack. Go!"

Hughes didn't waste any time. When everyone arrived, he directly arranged the arrangements and asked everyone to set off immediately.

In the elevator, Jimmy asked Chris: "Aren't there special teams to deal with terrorist attacks? Why are we allowed to go there?"

Chris looked at the jumping numbers in the elevator: "Our team is originally an emergency team. Because homicides are relatively rare, we usually handle cases and dispatch as an emergency team in emergencies. People from the terrorist attack investigation team mainly target various types of people.

Potential dangers. For cases that have already occurred, we need to assess whether it is a terrorist attack and then mobilize manpower to respond. If it is a general case, there is no need to notify them."

When they got downstairs, the two got into the car. Chris's car had police lights and sirens on, and Jimmy followed him, blaring the sirens all the way towards Brooklyn.

NYPD police have surrounded the middle school, and some are maintaining order. All students and teachers who have not been involved in the shooter have been evacuated. Two ambulances have been parked on the campus, and some students are receiving emergency treatment.

Chris came to a commanding superintendent and asked about the situation.

Superintendent: "A gunman came outside the school around 4:10. He shot and wounded the security guard and rushed into the teaching building. The sound of gunfire attracted the attention of others. Several other security guards began to evacuate after calling the police.

student.

The gunman shot and wounded several students in the teaching building. After we arrived, the gunman took some students hostage and is currently in a classroom on the third floor."

Chris: "Have you identified the shooter?"

Superintendent: "Not yet. There are no cameras in the classrooms in the teaching building, but what we can confirm is that there is only one gunman."

Chris: "Did he make any declaration or something?"

Superintendent: "No, I previously arranged for negotiators to enter the third floor to have a conversation with him, but he refused. He also refused to have another conversation, otherwise he would kill the students."

Chris: "What now? Is the situation on the third floor clear?"

Superintendent: "It is basically certain that the gunman held more than 10 students hostage in a classroom. Look around, it's so chaotic, and the school has no way to confirm who the kidnapped people are." The superintendent raised his hand and glanced.

time, "We have notified ESU and it should be here soon."

Chris nodded, and Jimmy also looked up at the teaching building. The third floor of the building has been blocked by the police. Unless the gunman jumps or flies into the sky, he will be trapped in that classroom. It is not as big as drones in 20 years.

During the development, it was impossible to observe the situation in the classroom from the air. If a helicopter was used, the movement would be too loud.

Jimmy turned to Chris and said, "I'll go up and check the situation."

Chris nodded, he knew Jimmy's skills, and self-protection would be no problem, as long as he was not impulsive.

Jimmy got back in the car, took off his suit and put on a body armor, hung the FBI badge on the body armor, then pulled out his revolver and walked towards the teaching building. There was only one gunman, so there was no need to use Glock fire to suppress it.

The words of the superintendent just now have basically explained that this is not a terrorist attack. Generally, terrorist attacks use large casualties to announce something, or someone makes a statement and declares responsibility. However, this school shooting obviously does not fall into this category.

In the two categories, Chris and Jimmy can in principle directly notify the people who retreated. The NYPD is capable of handling such matters. Even if they leave and there are more casualties in the end, it will not matter to them. At most, they will be called a few words of incompetence.

, inaction.

But it’s here, and Jimmy doesn’t want to just stand and watch. Who knows how long the NYPD and ESU will delay. No matter what the shooter’s purpose is, it’s too bad to come to the school to commit a shooting incident. If we delay it any longer, who knows what else will happen?

How many students will be unlucky?

After arriving on the third floor smoothly, Jimmy signaled to the policeman guarding the stairs, then bent down and began to quietly approach the classroom.

Although he did not see it with his own eyes, Jimmy had determined the situation in the classroom. There was a student lying on the ground, motionless, and 9 other people were crowded in the back left corner of the classroom, which was near the outside window. There was no door to escape. The gunman

He was in the middle of the classroom, holding a rifle in his hand.

Now he did not point a gun at the students, but looked like he was talking on a phone in his hand. He was shaking the phone from side to side while talking on the phone. Jimmy did not dare to show his face at the front door for fear of being discovered, but the phone inside

The voice was not loud, and he could not hear clearly what was said outside.

The policeman behind looked at Jimmy. Jimmy waited against the wall for a while, stretched out his head to take a look, and then quietly stepped back. He signaled to the policeman not to speak, then walked away and took out his mobile phone to call Chris, "

Chris, there is only one gunman and 10 students inside, but there is one person lying on the ground, not knowing whether he is alive or dead. Do you need me to solve this matter now? I'm worried that other students may be in danger if it takes too long."

Chris: "Are you sure? You must not accidentally injure students."

Jimmy: "It is very difficult to avoid accidental injuries. The gunman stood in the middle of the classroom and if he fired from the door, no matter who it was, he would definitely hit the students. The same goes for ESU. All I can say is to try to ensure the safety of students.

."

Chris thought about it for a while: "Wait for me." He hung up Jimmy's phone and went to a quiet place to call Hughes. This kind of thing still requires the boss to give the order. If something goes wrong, it will be big trouble.

Already.

It was not easy for Hughes to give orders. After confirming that ESU had not arrived yet, Hughes was decisive. After thinking for a while, he decisively asked Jimmy to take action.

After receiving a call back from Chris, Jimmy was already known as a teacher. Although he waited for a few minutes and didn't know what was going on in the classroom, it made no difference to Jimmy.

He still quietly came to the door, holding the M686-1 in both hands, and kept looking at the gunman through the wall. The gunman had finished making the phone call and was now walking back and forth in a small area. He kept the rifle in his hand and did not point it at the students or the classroom.

's door.

As the gunman turned towards the front of the classroom, Jimmy suddenly dodged to the door, raised the gun with both hands and fired twice, one in the chest and one in the head, while shouting "Hi!".

The gunman's reaction was already very fast. When Jimmy appeared at the door, he was already subconsciously preparing to lift the rifle, but he had no chance to shoot. The power of the 357 Magnum was more than enough for the human head. It was shot directly from the forehead, completely

There was no possibility of resistance and he fell to the ground instantly.

Jimmy chose the time when the gunman could not threaten the students in the corner, and when he turned around, there was just enough time for Jimmy to shoot when there were no students behind the gunman.

This is very important, because the .357 Magnum is very likely to penetrate the head. The possibility is very high. If he kills the gunman and accidentally injures the students behind him, Jimmy will inevitably be complained by others, and he may not even rule out being sued.

possible.

We absolutely cannot believe that the parents of these students can withstand the temptation of some unscrupulous institutions and personnel. There are so many people who want to take advantage of certain institutions every day, some for money, and some for other reasons.

As Jimmy fired, the gunman fell to the ground, and the students in the corner suddenly shouted. Several people squatted down, and some were about to run forward and run out of the classroom.

Jimmy shouted: "Everyone be quiet." He raised the revolver with his right hand and pointed it at the ceiling, while his left hand was making calm and quiet gestures to the students, but it was of no use. Several students still ran to the front door and ran out, blocking the corridor.

When the police heard the gunfire, they moved towards the classroom and were quickly attacked by several students. The police retreated to the wall and made room for the students to run down.

Seeing that no one listened to him, Jimmy simply shouted: "Everyone leave the classroom, quickly, leave." He moved forward to the gunman's side. When he fell to the ground, the rifle had been released, but because the gun belt was still hanging on

on him, so he wasn't far away from him. Jimmy was sure

The gunman was already dead, so he walked to the side and found the student lying on the ground. He looked like he had been shot twice in the chest. Jimmy did not make a move to determine whether he was alive or dead. He just took a look and understood. There was blood on the ground. The police

It's been delayed for so long and it's doomed.

After confirming the situation in the classroom, he shouted outside: "The gunman is dead. Arrange for emergency doctors to come in. There is a student here who needs emergency treatment."

Then he put away the revolver, took out his mobile phone and dialed Chris' number: "The matter was resolved, there was no accidental injury."

Chris: "Great, let's come up."

Jimmy pulled up a chair and sat in the front of the classroom, watching the police who came in from behind to check the room. Soon Chris came up with the commander, the superintendent, and several emergency doctors behind them. They checked the gunman and the

After the student, he was declared dead on the spot. There was nothing that could be done about it. The student was shot before. He was shot in the chest and the police delayed it for so long. How could he survive?

Chris asked Jimmy about the specific process, and then said hello to the NYPD. The two left the scene and returned to the FBI office. Coming downstairs, a group of students were gathering downstairs. Some people were shouting, and some were shouting.

People were crying silently, and the scene seemed to be in chaos. Some people who looked like teachers were surrounding them to comfort them, trying to calm the scene down, but this had nothing to do with Jimmy and the others.

When such a big thing happened, you couldn't just leave during off-duty hours. Jimmy wrote a report as soon as he came back, while Chris went directly to Hughes' office.

Jimmy turned on the TV in the office. Good guy, the news station was broadcasting the Dwight school shooting. Jimmy didn't change the channel. Looking at the data they were compiling, Jimmy, as a participant at the scene, didn't know this.

2 died and 9 were injured. The identity of the gunman has not been announced by the NYPD. The casualty records obtained by reporters were obtained from hospitals and schools. The matter has been resolved. It is estimated that the NYPD will not be so anxious to hold a press conference. It must be

Investigate clearly.

Jimmy's report was only part of it, mainly involving the part where he went upstairs to conduct reconnaissance and obtained authorization to shoot and kill the gunman. This report was not the final report. According to Chris's request, Jimmy took the report and sent it to Hughes' office, and then there was

Waiting for the results honestly in the office.

Hughes was not off work either. His authorization to Jimmy to kill the gunman was risky and was suspected of exceeding his authority. He also needed to communicate with the NYPD and make some private deals. Of course, these had nothing to do with Jimmy. He was just a

The person holding the gun and commanding the gun is the busiest at this time.

Finally, the PY transaction between Hughes and the NYPD came to fruition. Chris came over to inform Jimmy that he was off work and would come over tomorrow for routine questioning.

When Jimmy got home and turned on the TV, the NYPD press conference had ended. He was watching the news station as usual, waiting for the host to summarize the future news.

No matter what time it is, school shootings always make headlines. This time, the NYPD only announced the scene, but did not release the specific information and motives of the gunman. These will take time to investigate, and the person who shot the gunman was not announced.

The specific information will not be released for the time being because it involves the follow-up processing of the case. It is estimated that this is also something agreed within the scope of the PY transaction between Hughes and NYPD.

Of course, Jimmy knew that reporters would definitely be able to get the information. After all, the FBI is an open federal agency. Many police officers saw Chris and Jimmy when they arrived at the scene, but they just didn't know when they would get the specific information.

The next day, when Jimmy returned to the office, he was called into the conference room. Not only did the OPR come to the inquiry this time, but he also seemed to have a high-ranking NYPD official whom he didn't recognize.

Having been asked many times, Jimmy sat on the other side of the conference table very consciously, waiting for them to ask.

The previous inquiries were all routine inquiries. The reason for early intervention was that the gunman had taken hostages with a rifle, and Jimmy had already found a student lying on the ground. For the safety of other kidnapped students, the longer the delay, the more likely the students would be in danger.

Gao, this is one of the reasons why Hughes agreed to deal with Jimmy.

Of course, another main reason is that Jimmy's own quality is enough for him to bear the pressure of killing the gunman in an emergency. Regarding this point, both Hughes and OPR admitted that if the dangerous situation at that time was to be solved as soon as possible, Jimmy was the best person on the scene at the time.

As for the candidate, the NYPD person who was observing did not comment any more.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the end. All the students were safe and sound, and the gunman was killed without even a chance to shoot. Jimmy's shout of "Hi" also has a meaning. As a law enforcement agency, it is not a killer, even if ESU wants to go to war.

Previously, it was necessary to negotiate first, and then attack by force after the negotiation failed. There was no direct sneak attack. Of course, it is no problem to directly snipe the gunman from outside after receiving authorization.

After successfully completing the interview, Hughes arranged for Jimmy to undergo a psychological evaluation and was temporarily given two days of administrative leave. Jimmy didn't care, as he happened to have no cases at hand, so he took a break.

The process was the same, except this time he received a psychological evaluation in another psychologist's office. A very kind old man was very approachable, but it was really boring. He asked some routine questions and chatted casually.

That's the end of the sentence. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Mary and Jenna for a long time, and I miss them. I know they are a couple, but this is so mean.
