Yesterday was pretty busy for east county and the Elma area. This is a catch-up on some of those calls, as our team, for the most part, took Easter Sunday off to enjoy with our families. fior call catch ups we go through our online recorded call audio from our GHScanner App Services. We listen to the audio and these are the details of the incident that we are able to gather. There has been no official press release as of writing this.
