So Susan said, quote, Yeah, there are several kids out there right now, and I'm fearing for my life.

I'm very scared.

Now, of course, the 911 operator was trying to diffuse and calm down what seemed over the phone like a potentially scary situation, right?

I mean, 911 operators don't have the full backstory, the same one that the police do.

They don't know that this is kind of a pattern in this neighborhood.

To them, this very well could have been a life or death situation.

If someone calls in and says they are in fear for their life,

You have to take that seriously until you know more.

So the operator instructed Susan to stay inside, to avoid the kids, to lock her doors, to close her windows, and said, you know, the police will be there soon.

Just hunker down, basically, until the police get there.

However, within two minutes, two minutes, another call went into 911.

And this, this was the call from Susan about shooting AJ.

Now, the key witnesses in this case are AJ's two sons, because apparently after Susan had yelled at the kids and swung that umbrella at them and threw the skates at them, the boys went and got their mom.

It's also worth mentioning that during a previous time that the police had been called out to this neighborhood by Susan,

the officers literally told the kids that they wanted them to go get their parents if Susan ever came outside or was saying mean things to them.

So in this situation now, you know, fast-forwarding from them, the kids were literally doing exactly what they had been instructed to do by the police officers.

Things were escalating, and they went and got their mom.

So AJ, with her son Izzy at her side, went to Susan's front door, knocking and demanding that Susan come outside so that they could settle whatever had happened between her and the kids.

And you know, AJ was hearing things from her kids, really awful things.

And to her, it wasn't fair.
