[TRANSCRIPT]

ARREDONDO:

“Hey, hey. Can you hear me? I’d like to tell you where we’re at. It’s an emergency right now. He’s inside the building and this man has an AR-15. He’s shot a whole bunch of times. We’re inside the building, he’s in one room. I need a lot of firepower. We need this building surrounded. Surrounded with as many AR-15s as possible. Can you hear me? Can you hear me?”

DISPATCH:

“What room number?”

ARREDONDO:

“Is the teacher with them? Is the teacher with them? Is she in the room that he’s in? Can you hear him? Ma’am? Ma’am?”

DISPATCH:

“I’m right here.”

ARREDONDO:

“Ma’am, is the teacher with them in this classroom?”

DISPATCH:

“He’s in another classroom, she’s in room 102.”

“Another person possible shot across from her.”

*(It was actually room 112, not 102.)

ARREDONDO:

“Okay. We have him in the room. He’s got an AR-15. He’s shot a lot. He’s in the room, he hasn’t come out yet. We’re surrounded but I don’t have a radio with me.

Please let all units know he’s gonna be in a room.

He’s in 111 or 112 and we’re in here. I’m in the hallway. Sergeant [REDACTED] and Sergeant [REDACTED] are here, but we need this place surrounded, and if you have SWAT I need them to set up on the South side of the building which is the building nearest the funeral home.”

DISPATCH:

[confirms]

ARREDONDO:

“Yes. And they need to be outside the building prepared, because we don’t have enough firepower right now. It’s all pistols and he has an AR-15. If you can get the SWAT teams set up by the funeral home- okay and we need- yes, I need some more firepower in here because we all have pistols and this guy’s got a rifle. So I don’t have a radio. I don’t have a radio. If somebody can come in.”

DISPATCHER:

Please stay on the line.

ARREDONDO:

“I am, but I’m gonna drop it when he comes out of that door. Alright. So- so I need you to bring a radio for me, and give me my radio for me. I need to get one rifle. Hold on.

I’m trying to set him- I’m trying to set him up right now.

Okay, do me a favor. Call me when SWAT is set up. I’m gonna have you on vibrate though, call me twice if you have to, okay? Alright, thank you.”
