USPP are reporting the shooter is 10-7 with a weapon recovered.

Still no mention of this on the news...

What is the chatter like now?

 

[m4a3t]

They've moved SWAT to 166.8500 which is out of range as it doesn't hit a repeater. USPP are continuing to clear the building.

 

[KF5YBZ]

Now they are saying 3 shooters, 1 in fatigues... Who knows this early.

D.C. police say an "active shooter" has shot several, still on loose at Navy Yard.


Now they say 2...

Raw information. USPP and MPD responding to Bolling AFB for a possible active shooter.

Broadcastify DC police feed seems dead. Nothing coming over it. 1400+ listners though.

I think it's all encrypted now.

The archive for the time frame at which this started is missing. Skips from 07:34-08:05 to 08:34-09-04.

The necessity for secure communications in particular situations is appreciated. That said, encrypted public safety radio systems in the US are and have been an unmitigated disaster.

I always thought it was supposed to support interoperability. I hope they get the bugs out. Hearing they got "a gunman" lots of reports of multiple shooters, locations.

How can this totally go quiet? Even if most goes to encrypted, there is always some talk between the other parts of PD in the clear. Not every radio or department is usually encrypted. I have a feeling the user has it switched off or something so its not on the air.

I would tend to agree. I would think given the amount of agencies involved a number of in the clear mutual aid frequencies would be in use.

Washington DC Fire and EMS archives missing/broken/silent

Really unfortunate - the archives of Washington DC Fire and EMS from today are either mostly missing (as in many files are only a few minutes long), or where there is a standard length file, the audio is flatlined after about 15 minutes in each file.

When this hobby dies due to encryption, I'm thinking I'll take up collecting guns.

 

[jaaredmond]

I've noticed that some files were missing the other day on my local stream. Also, if the file was even there, it only played 15 mins worth.....

already ahead of ya...sad thing is there are some that will kill that hobby too. I hear knitting is "safe".

The thing is, I know the audio was working as a live stream, because I was listening to it all morning.

So I'm curious how the recording software seems to have cut in and out randomly...couldn't have been a computer setting, I don't think, as the aberrations are not consistent.

I realize it's a huge commitment to provide streams/archives to RadioReference, and I do appreciate it. Bummer for this particular set of audio, though - will now be impossible to thoroughly review the events of yesterday, unless someone else has recorded a stream.
