It's wrong that it's gone this long, but it's still not too late to correct it.

Yes, ma'am.

This is Barry calling from Crown Sterling Suites Hotel in Birmingham, Alabama.

I'm calling because I've had several guests report what appears off the window to have been two gunshots and people running in the parking lot.

That is correct.

I have security on the premises, which is Jefferson County Police, but I'm calling you because I want to make sure that the Birmingham police arrive, please.

Thank you very much.

All right.

I remember hearing popping noises from the distance.

When I heard it, I believe that's when I tried to call Officer Hardy on the radio.

with no response.

And I never felt unsafe.

Dude, I can remember it like it was yesterday.

And I was with Keebler driving one of their step vans delivering cookies and crackers and stuff.

But I woke up and I kept hearing somebody talk, kind of talk, argue.

Not really bad, but they were... Having a conversation.

Yeah, it was.

Well, they quit arguing.

And then I didn't hear anything, so I laid back down.

And it probably wasn't...
