They're calling for National Guard backup due to a sniper shooting at people rescuing a group from a rooftop. 25 NG with law enforcement officers are being sent. I can hear automatic weapons firing in the background.

Nice, thanks for those links.

Thanks alot for that, it's very interesting just listening to these.

I just heard on the scanner about an hour ago that there is a group of 20+ hostages being held in a hotel by the NOPD in uniform and that the NG is moving in to investigate.
