Hi, this is Jim Avila from NBC Network News.
How are you?
Good.
Kind of busy this morning.
Yes, we are.
Is there a watch commander or something?
We have a crew that's there and has been there all night in a shooting and they have those
little badges, but your officers are telling them they have to leave.
Right.
We are evacuating if they're anywhere near Lincoln Park area, which they probably are,
or Riverside Park or Central Park.
We're evacuating those people.
We need pictures of that.
Well, I'm sorry.
I can't give you permission to go in there.
They're evacuating people.
I'm asking for a watch commander.
Hang on a second.
