Report
As I was patrolling along the Ocean Docks to Idlewood route I noticed a group of suspicious looking men hanging around a warehouse. I parked my cruiser a little bit up the street out of the sight of the men and observed. While looking I realized that those guys were the lookouts for another group of men who was mugging a civilian. Well those lookout were not all that good seeing that I was able to notice the whole situation. I made my way a bit closer to plan my way in to attempt to rescue the civilian. When I reached a spot where I was able to take cover and stay out of the sight of the men I radioed for back up. While waiting for 5 to 10 minutes continuously radioing and waiting no units responded so I decided that I would have to go through on my own as the victim could not take no more blows. I then made my way around the back of the 44 ft container then called out to the men "This is the SAPD remove yourself from the civilian! ". Of course as typical criminals they ignored me. I shouted to them again stating to them that they are to step away from the victim. The still refused to do so, so I proceeded to un-holster my gun and then aimed them. I shouted to them once again "This is your last warning please step away from the civilian! " Then the pulled out various weapons such as bats, 9mm's, tec9's,knives etc. I tried to radio for back up again but I got no response and it was to late the guys opened fire. I then heaved behind another near by container for cover. I then said to my self "Officer Tevin this is your chance to prove yourself, take them all down." I then reloaded my Desert Eagle then I crouched a peered around the side the container I saw the first criminal, I took a deep breath them aimed at his legs to get him on the ground but unfortunately in the haste I shot him and he received two bullets to the head he was down. I saw two others running arond the back of the warehouse building I ran around the next side and intercepted them I shot one so many times in fright that he died then the other guy hit me from behind which made my deagle drop. I proceeded to take him on in fist to fist combat which I eventually down the suspect. Then I picked up my gun and ran back to check on the victim he was lying there in a pool of blood I checked for a pulse I could feel a faint pulse I radioed for a medic. I got a reponse I gave him my 10-20. I told the guy hold tight till the medic arrived. Then I remembered that I had not taken down all six suspects. I then pulled out my gun again and saw the remaining three running towards the gates of the warehouse I then tried to chase after them but then a Red Sultan pulled up and they all jumped in. The car pulled out before I could get the plates. I then went back to the victim then waited with him for the medic to arrive on scene. The medic arrived then he took over from me he did his medical procedures I then helped him Bring the victim into the ambulance then I followed them to the hospital in the cruiser. After making sure that the victim arrived at the hospital safely I returned to LSPD and wrote up the report.
