"Suspect down. You can come in now," Jimmy shouted to two city police officers outside before he walked over to the suspect, kicked the handgun that had fallen to the ground away from him, and then secured the weapon, beginning to check if there was still a heartbeat or breathing.
This was the procedure he had to follow, though Jimmy was already certain the man was definitely dead. He still had to follow the steps regardless.
One city police officer stayed by the suspect while the other went upstairs to look for the person who had reported the crime. Jimmy said to the officer who remained, "I fired the shot. Following regulations, you need to take custody of my weapon for now. Someone from our station will come soon."
Jimmy and the remaining officer went back to his patrol car and he contacted the dispatch center through the radio, asking them to inform Sergeant Cage to come to the scene, then he removed his firearm and duty belt, placing them in the trunk of the patrol car.
