I have the first half hour of the dispatch downloaded if anyone wants it. It's rough to listen to.

This is awful.

Initial request was for 5 ambulances and LifeFlight but concerns about where LifeFlight will last.

Said 3, then 4 people down at least.

Edit: just gonna add the links to the audio on here - it's hard to label correctly with how the links share, so please let me know if they're labeled wrong or don't work right. I can easily send a different way.

First part - from 1315 to 1345. The first report of shooting comes in right at the 15 minute mark on this audio section:

(2nd edit - I may have flip flopped my links and this might be the SECOND part - when I download them it doesn't give the times, and then I rename them and then Samsung shares without the stupid name I give it. So. I'm NOT going to move links around, because a lot of people already probably figured it out on their own, but I'm pretty sure the 13:46 to 14:16 is the one I meant to list first. Sorry. Brain was overwhelmed!)

Will edit with the rest shortly.

1346 to 1415:

I believe they were pulling Life Flight Birds from all over the PNW for it. Fucking horrible.

I saw one from Sandpoint, one from CDL, and one from Spokane on the flight radar, and one more unspecified flight, but it's hard to tell from there which ones transported or not. How fucking awful.
