Chapter 780 New clues and churches
When the ambulance dragged away the wounded with its siren blaring, the local special police and armored vehicles also rushed to the scene. Soon, under the cover of the armored vehicles, the remaining The bodies of the three police officers at the scene were also removed.
The next step was the formation of armored vehicles to demolish the house. Jack stood next to Captain Luce, listening to him arranging troops on the walkie-talkie, with a smile on his face unconsciously.
This is the usual strategy of the American police when encountering gangsters. When they are unsure of the situation inside the house, they will not rush in or shoot randomly while throwing a lot of shock into the house like in the movie. It's not like bombs, but it's tearing down the wall bit by bit. It's ugly but effective.
The bungalows in the United States are basically made of wooden structures. They are cheap to build, have low real estate taxes, and are easy to dismantle. Armored vehicles with modified battering rams on their butts can poke holes and pull down walls.
Shock bombs are very effective, but because they are so effective, they were once suspected of being abused. As mentioned before, this thing is actually somewhat lethal. It has appeared more than once because it was not known in advance that there were infants and young children in the room. In cases of casualties, some states have even banned the use of tear gas and shock bombs.
And now there are more and more drug addicts in the United States. The upper limit of this kind of thing is very high but the lower limit is very low. The electric shock effect of the high upper limit is almost the same as that of releasing the violent spell. Even if you eat a few rounds 9 Even a millimeter peanut can chase people for hundreds of meters.
Those with a low minimum limit are completely thin-blooded and crispy. If you fall on your back and kneel down, you may show your braids on the spot, even if your body looks as strong as an ox.
When the crispy people were cooking for themselves, they put too much pepper and suffered an asthma attack. They were reluctant to call an ambulance. The last gasp had nothing to do with the police, but because the police used smoke bombs to cover up when they were attacking, causing a fire 500 meters away. It’s another thing for a “next-door neighbor” to go to the hospital due to smoke suffocation and find a lawyer to file a claim against the police.
To this end, police departments in various places have also toyed with a so-called attention diversion device, which is a low-yield shock bomb. It is not very powerful and can only be used in open areas. Whether it has any effect, Jack also Not sure, looks more like a compromise.
So again, when discussing the United States, we cannot generalize, but need to analyze specific issues in detail. Weak local police stations are criticized every day and just lie flat and smashed.
But strong local police stations have nothing to do. Fearful, even if they accidentally demolished the criminal's neighbor's house during the attack, they didn't have to pay compensation. They even used tear gas and pepper bombs to deal with the crowds on the streets.
So if the other party has no problem coping with the situation like this now, then they can help at the critical moment, kill one person and rescue a wounded person. The wanted criminal team has already shown its face, so there is no need to get too involved.
The rest of the work has to be left to the CMPD and the Marshals Service to finish it off themselves. What is human nature? This is the tactical retreat of human nature.
Of course, the main reason is that they did not make any mistakes, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, the road from the scene to the nearest hospital was blocked, and the ambulance went straight to the hospital after receiving the injured.
All four nearby schools were suspended, and two police helicopters arrived when Jack was rescuing people to prevent the gunman from escaping in the chaos.
The overall quality of the CMPD is good, and their performance can be called heroic. Although the security is good in peacetime, most police officers do not have the habit of preparing long guns in their vehicles.
Jack is not sure about the rules of the local police station, such as whether he needs to purchase a rifle at his own expense. After all, he comes from a large police station, and some large local police stations usually have second-hand equipment that has been phased out by the military. .
For example, after the famous "North Hollywood Bank Robbery" of the last century, the military directly provided 600 M16 automatic rifles and several armored vehicles to the LAPD at once.
An hour later, SWAT officers escorted two young women with the correct skin color from the half-demolished house, leaving a body with a gunshot wound to the head.
The originally ugly face of the CMPD director, who was wearing a white uniform, became a little more natural. He very solemnly expressed his gratitude to the FBI who came to support him. He learned that they had other tasks to perform, and even personally helped contact each branch. Fortunately, there was no contact. As soon as I contacted him, I received a message. A local dance studio reported that a student did not come to class at noon today, and he could not be contacted at the moment. His name was Emma Jennings.
Now the Director's face turned ugly again, because when Alice inquired about the student's identity, she found that she lived with her grandfather, and her grandfather was Pastor of a local church.
There are some differences between priests and priests. The former is a broader term. Depending on the denomination, some can get married and have children, such as Protestant priests. Priests usually refer to Catholic and Orthodox clergy. The Orthodox only refer to bishops. Requirements, and Catholic priests are not allowed to marry.
But no matter which denomination he is from, the pastor of a church in an area of Old America is still very influential. When he thinks that the FBI just mentioned that they are chasing two wanted criminals who are acting crazy, the director His face turned from black to green.
The scene here was not over yet. Under the personal order of the director, a group of police cars followed the two Saber cars, turned off their sirens, but still flashed their lights and rushed towards the mineral spring town more than 20 kilometers away.
Before getting in the car, Jack and the others took off their cumbersome heavy bulletproof vests and put on light bulletproof vests. After arriving at the church, they rushed in directly carrying the MDX508 with the silencer installed.
Different from the 5.5-inch barrel length version used by SEALs due to their special mission needs and extreme pursuit of concealment, the 8.5-inch MDX508 is a bit longer, but its ballistic performance is more stable, even if it is pulled You won't suffer any loss when shooting from one to two hundred meters, so it has both versatility.
Although the bullets are extremely expensive (a box of 20 bullets can cost around US$30), and the guns are not cheap (more than US$2,000 each), they are all sponsored by the Joint Special Operations Command anyway, so there is no need to use them in vain. .
For Jack and the others, this short-barreled assault rifle is much more practical than those submachine guns that use pistol ammunition. It is powerful and accurate.
First of all, it is foreseeable that they will encounter many hostage-taking situations in the future. When fighting indoors, they are precise enough not to easily cause accidental injuries.
Secondly, the criminals dealt with by the wanted criminal team may not necessarily be professional, but they are definitely cruel enough. It is Jack's consistent aim not to injure such guys even if they can be killed.
The church in front of you is a common community church. Of course, it is larger than the small church with only a few rooms except the chapel when Jack and Clay were blocked by drug lords in Mexico. Quite a few.
It was still Jack and Clay who led people to break in through the front door and search all the way. Aubrey and Hannah led other CMPD officers to block the back door and other entrances and exits.
“Safe!”
"Safe!"
Because they were temporary partners, everyone was a little nervous. Both the FBI and CMPD police officers were shouting reports at the top of their lungs as they searched the rooms one by one to prevent accidental injuries.
"Hey! Come to me!" Jack noticed something unusual when he walked into the kitchen. The flour on the cooking table was scattered everywhere, and the ketchup jar was broken on the floor. At first glance, it looked like a murder. It's like a scene.
