Even so, at minimum, the air above the scene has been rife with newscopters circling low and slow over the scene since shortly before noon today so as to endeavor to score video for their respective stations’ 5 O’clock broadcasts as well as for “details at 11.”
That and how Quincy’s armored SWAT vehicle has apparently been been rolled to the scene per the monitoring of a police radio scanner by a Citizen Police Scanner Monitor.
Further note that this is also the second time that the so-called “The Truck” has been rolled to a crisis situation in Quincy over the course of four days per the monitoring of police radio traffick.
