We have a whole generation of kids who have grown up not knowing what it was like to not have a mass shooting at a school every week :mad:

My 12-year-old granddaughter talks about it. It's all she's known in school, but she doesn't think it's normal. :mad:

I may be wrong, Sugar M. will probably know, but I don't think you're supposed to call 911 because you saw a suspect. I think you're only supposed to use it for emergencies. "I saw a kid they think shot and wounded 4 people" is not an emergency, IMHO. Unless there's reason to think he's imminently about to shoot a few more.

Yeah, call it in. No, don't use 911.

Nope. 911.

The admin number is for something that can wait for a officer or that only requires a report. 911 is for anything that is time-sensitive. If you see the guy walking down the street and call the admin line it may be 10 minutes before someone shows up. If you call 911 when you see him walking down the street they might catch him before he reaches the corner. Any in-progress call, from a fight to a shooting to a house burglary should go to 911. They will often keep you on the line for updates on location of the suspect so the officers know what to look for on the way. A stolen vehicle, your yard got egged last night, or you're going to be out of town and want extra police presence on your street is the admin line.
