On Friday December 20, 2024
at approximately 19:14 hours I, PFC Falcitelli, was dispatched to 101 W 1st St (Moes BBQ) in reference to a suspicious person. While en route I was advised that a female subject was screaming that someone had shot themselves, but no gunshots had been reported.
Upon my arrival I observed the female (identified as Lyndsay Townsend) screaming on the flag bridge. I then approached her asked what was wrong. Ms. Townsend stated a female subject named [REDACTED] had shot herself in the forehead and was now running Eastbound on W 1st Ave. Ms. Townsend then stated that [REDACTED] then ran with the projectile still in her forehead. Ms. Townsend then advised that [REDACTED] now was still laying on the pavement and grabbed another firearm, dual wielding them now. I observed that [REDACTED] did not exist on either occasion. I asked Ms. Townsend if she had ingested any drugs today and she stated Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy) powder had been poured on her clothes earlier in the day.
At approximately 19:22 hours I placed Ms. Townsend under arrest, placed handcuffs on her person, and ed her incident to arrest. At approximately 19:25 hours I observed, in Ms. Townsend’s duffel bag, one firearm (Glock 43X Serial Number: AKAP116), a holster, two magazine, each loaded with eight 9mm bullets, a box of 14 additional 9mm bullets, and 14 45 ACP shell casings.
