They tell FOX5 police called them for help during the shooting and they immediately jumped into action. In the 9-1-1 records released by metro, a phone call can be heard from Battlefield Vegas to police. The call is from their operations manager informing the operator they were asked to come by a sergeant. They give a description of their vehicles and their exact location."
