Minutes after my previous entry, the police helicopter blared something along the lines of, “Surrender now and force will not be used.” People (not me) started gathering in front of the buildings, but a cop came by and told everyone to go inside. Shortly thereafter, four police with guns drawn and a K-9 moved through the alley below my window. They knocked on the ground-floor window of the building next door and it sounded like they wanted someone to let them in so they could search the building. Then they disappeared from sight. One guy from my building stepped outside to smoke, and I told him the police had warned people to stay inside, and he was like, “Okay sure, just let me finish my cigarette.” He smoked his cigarette, then came back inside. Shortly thereafter one of the police dogs started barking, and it sounded like people were yelling in the parking lot of the apartment next door, but I can’t see back there. Later I saw the police come by and search the parking lot behind my building. The helicopter is still circling right overhead.
Update: Apparently a dead baby was found by a dumpster on Hoover, and police were trying to use bloodhounds to track whoever had left it.
