Gun Call in Irvington

Around 1 o'clock this afternoon a citizen reported a man on a bicycle crossing the street in the Irvington district with a gun tucked in his waistband.  The party was over at Monument Park, near 5 Corners.  6J1, a school resource officer, located two subjects near the post office and eventually caught up with them near Irvington.  He held the two at gun point until backup officers arrived.  One subject said he had two guns on him.  Both were detained without incident.  Unknown how many guns in total were taken.

  1. Wow. More and more people are carrying firearms except for law abiding citizens. We are left vulnerable because we cannot protect ourselves. SMH.

  2. How can a caller or peace officer determine whether a person has a CCW just by watching them ride a bicycle, or hearing their description from a police dispatcher?

  3. They probably can't. But I think it is prudent to stop and ask in the interest of public safety.
