Charles R Downs(@TheCharlesDowns):While hanging out in Fairfax County, I looked up and saw a little kid dangling outside a 7-story window. The 911 call made at 3:15 p.m. that all the D.C. media reported on was made by me. I called 911 while standing below the window, ready to catch the kid if they fell. The 911 operators did a great job staying on the phone with me as I talked to them on speaker until law enforcement arrived. Law enforcement were excellent too. Washington, D.C. news reported on today’s outcome, saying: “Thankfully, the best thing happened.” I couldn’t agree more with that analysis. I’m happy everyone is safe.
