“Shortly after reported shots fired, a shooting suspect was located and taken into custody at Washington and Orange,” Smith said. “ The officers saw the second shots get fired at Washington. Nobody saw the first one on Central. We used the cameras, of course, to see that, play it back. We had that capability to play it back at major sections.
“During this night, we had about 100 officers who are working the detail, spread out as you can see in all the videos, the officers responded very quickly, the officers did a great job. They responded right when they heard the shooting. You know, everybody else is running, they’re not, they’re sitting in position looking for a shooter. They found the shooter. They took him down,” Smith said.
Anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 people could have been downtown at the time of the shooting, judging by views of the huge Halloween crowds, according to Smith.
