No arrests have been made, and the investigation is very much still ongoing. This investigation was conducted by the unit of the (Metro) Police Department that concentrates on gambling and organized prostitution. I can't give any more detail due to the investigation continuing. We have not reached a stage where we are ready to discuss specifics of the case.

Nobody saw anyone being handcuffed. Officer Gant was moving into a position of cover. He was coming around a planter with a tree in it. His view was partially obstructed when the shot was fired. Sgt. Reed was in the arrest process.

The intelligence information was that this vehicle might be involved with selling guns in public housing.

The language was ill-advised. In the opinion of the deputy chiefs, (the change) was not good policy and they directed that revisions be made.

The records office was back in business within an hour.

We can't do it on every missing adult. In this situation, we had an adult, albeit a mentally challenged individual, who, in the past, had been known to go elsewhere.

Officers are permitted to use deadly force when their lives are in danger or citizens' lives are in imminent danger. Officer Davidson believed he was in imminent danger.

The at-fault driver has not been determined, so charges have not been filed yet.

The judges have full authority to exercise discretion. That's why they're there.

When the results of the testing are known, we will be in a much better position to take the next course of action. We have to work through some unique issues in this case, but we know enough about the victim, her circumstances, and the people with whom she was associated. We do not think the circumstances are going to be insurmountable.
