Even before you instructed them?

Mr. Sawyer. Yes, because they were looking for something or anything, and I know that anybody coming out of the back doors, from what the sergeant told me, they would have stopped them, too.

Mr. Belin. What happened at the front door now. There were people standing out on the area of the steps, were there not?

Mr. Sawyer. No. There were some people around, yes.

Mr. Belin. Do you know whether or not any of those would have been stopped?

Mr. Sawyer. For sure, no; I don't.

Mr. Belin. Now after you got down and you issued these orders, then what did you do?

Mr. Sawyer. I set up a command post in front. The various officers were bringing up different witnesses who had seen various things, and I saw that this was quite an involved situation. It was so many of these people that had information, that I knew I didn't have time to take this information down, and by this time several deputy sheriffs were standing there, and one of them, I think he was a supervisor, I had his name at one time, I can't think of it now, was there, and he offered the use of an interrogation room of Sheriff Decker's office, I think he said, for interrogating these people.

Mr. Belin. That is located down the street a little bit there?

Mr. Sawyer. Well, it is catty-corner across the street.
