The scene was already in chaos, and the police who had been on guard all around gathered around, holding guns while looking for the unknown enemy.
On the podium, except for a few Secret Service agents who were surrounding the archbishop, the rest had formed a human wall around David Palmer and quickly moved to a building.
Sirens were wailing all around, and police cars kept arriving and leaving.
Owen didn't even realize he spilled his coffee. After a moment of confusion, he and his heartbeat ran to the podium, but the archbishop was already surrounded by people.
Owen looked around, trying to find the location of the sniper, but he couldn't find it. There were police snipers everywhere, and police snipers were manning the commanding heights of almost every building around him.
A distance of 800 meters is the security range of the Secret Service. If there is an enemy sniper, it can only be done 1,500 meters away.
But sniping a target from a distance of 1,500 meters is too exaggerated. This is not a game. Just put the target in the cross-eyepiece and pull the trigger.
For real sniping, at a position of 1,500 meters, temperature, humidity, altitude, wind direction, water mist, all these factors must be considered. A slight breeze may cause the bullet to miss a long way.
It takes 6-8 seconds for the bullet to fly to the target. The sniper also needs to calculate the lead time during this period, and even the Coriolis effect and the rotation of the earth must be considered.
It can be said that if you want to hit the target at a distance of 1,500 meters, half of it depends on strength and the other half of it depends on luck.
"I am Officer Dimons from the Central Police Station. I just wounded the suspect and he ran away towards Lemon Tree Street..."
The report from the central police station came through the headset, and the heartbeat made a "chirp" sound. The car stopped in front of Irving. Owen didn't even bother to open the door, so he took off directly. While his body was in the air, he twisted and got into the passenger seat. The heartbeat started.
He grabbed the car and chased it toward Lemon Tree Street.
Heartbeat overtook the car all the way, followed by several FBI and police cars, all heading towards the location in the report.
There was the sound of propellers in the sky, and Owen looked up to see two FBI helicopters flying past, cruising around in the sky, looking for any clues.
Owen was secretly speechless. He looked at his watch and saw that less than 10 minutes before the incident occurred, the FBI helicopter had already arrived. When did their response speed become so fast?
Heartbeat had obviously discovered this, and looked at the helicopter in the sky in disbelief. The two looked at each other, and both saw incredulity in each other's eyes.
We all work for officialdom, we usually look up but don't look down at each other, so we know each other's level well.
In the entire Los Angeles, in terms of response speed, the CTU led by Jack Bauer is definitely the first. This is recognized, just like SWAT must be the strongest in the FBI, and it is already the consensus of the entire Los Angeles law enforcement department.
But this time the FBI's response speed refreshed Irving's outlook, definitely far surpassing that of the CTU. Is Womack going to rise to prominence?
"All units please be aware that the suspect drove a government Ford sedan and fled towards Lexington Avenue. Please pay attention to nearby units to intercept..."
This time the voice from the main station came through the intercom. With my heart beating, I quickly adjusted my direction and followed the location indicated on the broadcast.
There were more and more police cars around, and it was obvious that everyone came here after hearing the radio announcement.
If someone looks down from the air at this time, they will find countless police cars converging in one direction.
Owen sat in the co-pilot, grabbing the armrest from time to time. His driving skills were still poor, and he had to make too many corners a few times. But it’s not his fault. His driving level was that of an ordinary person. He could drive hard when driving intensely.
This is already good.
"Attention, attention, there is a report that the target vehicle entered a car wash near the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Star Street. Please pay attention and be reminded that the suspect is armed..."
My heartbeat made me adjust my direction again, but as soon as I drove near Xingyao Street, I saw a black Ford rushing out of the intersection at an extremely fast speed, roaring and turning towards the fork in the road.
"Discover the target..."
Heartbeat yelled and chased after him. Actually, Owen didn't need to yell to see that there were a series of police cars following the black Ford, with lights flashing and sirens blaring, and they turned onto the side road exactly like the black Ford.
.
Those police cars, plus the ones that Owen and his friends had just arrived, there were nearly 10 police cars chasing Ford.
There was an intersection ahead, and Ford ignored the red light in front and stepped on the accelerator to rush over, but was hit by a large truck coming from the side and hit the back of the car.
The Ford almost overturned due to the impact. Fortunately, the people inside had good control and turned 180 degrees before coming to a stop. The front of the car came face to face with the police cars chasing them behind.
The cars on both sides of the intersection stopped immediately when they saw this scene, and soon both ends were blocked. The police officers in the police cars in front also got out of their cars, relying on the police cars to aim towards the opposite side.
The car stopped with the heartbeat, and he huddled behind the engine and took aim with the gun. However, Owen was a little confused. He also got out of the car, but he just stood by the car and looked towards the opposite side, because he always vaguely felt that the guy in the opposite car was
It looks a bit familiar.
Other vehicles arrived one after another from behind, including the police, FBI, and SWAT, and there was still a steady stream of sirens coming in the distance.
A helicopter also appeared in the sky, flying above them.
This place has become a desert.
At the intersection, the Ford stood alone against a large number of police cars. It was blocked by vehicles on three sides. Police officers hiding behind the car could be seen in every direction. There were helicopters in the sky, and the sea was behind the Ford.
There is no retreat and nowhere to escape.
Just when everyone thought Ford had only one way to surrender, Ford accelerated violently and started to reverse, then flew out of the shore and plunged into the sea. A large amount of seawater poured in through the open window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Under the sea.
A group of police officers surrounding it hurried over, but all they saw were a few bubbles popping up, and Ford's shadow there.
"Report……"
"Call the main station, suspect vehicle..."
"Please contact the Coast Guard immediately for assistance..."
There was a chaotic sound all around.
…
It was already an hour later when Irving and Dou Ting returned to the CTU, and the follow-up progress of the matter was known through the media. Various media with powerful media had already conducted comprehensive follow-up reports on this incident.
When the two entered the door, NBC news was playing on the big screen of CTU. A blond girl said to the camera: "According to the accurate information from the FBI, the suspect who assassinated the presidential candidate this time has been identified as a retired Navy member. The gunman
Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger.
The federal police had set up a dragnet to chase him, but they still found no trace of him. Dimons, a veteran Los Angeles police officer who had served for seven years, was one of the first to arrive at the scene and shot and wounded Swager. Below
we will……"
Hearing that familiar name, Owen realized that the identity of the suspect was actually the sniper who saved him during the Zhongchen Tower incident, Bob Lee Swagger.
(The previous article saying he was a Delta was a clerical error. Now it is changed to a Marine, which is consistent with his identity in the movie)
