Louie's voice calls from downstairs, directing Carrillo to retreat to the lower level. Carrillo and an unknown person retreat down the stairs. Carrillo then calls loudly, but in a conciliatory tone, toward Marquez' open doorway:

Carrillo: Vanessa, talk to me.
  [To Burgos] She pulled it out from underneath. She pulled out scissors first and then she grabbed the gun.
Burgos: Pointed it at you?
Carrillo: Yeah. Pointed at me and then pointed it... to her head.
  [To Marquez] Vanessa, I need you to understand that we're here for your safety only. We're concerned about you. Vanessa, talk to me. Vanessa,talk to me. Vanessa.
Burgos: Ms. Marquez, we're here to help you out.
Carrillo: [To Burgos] She moved her blanket and then she grabbed it.
  [To Marquez] Vanessa, talk to me. Vanessa, it's Gilbert. Talk to me.
Burgos: Ms. Marquez, are you okay? Ms. Marquez, put the gun down. Put the gun down.
Carrillo: Vanessa, put the gun down.
Burgos: We mean no harm. Put the gun down.

At that point, Burgos moves behind Carrillo and Perez. Carrillo indicates he hears movement, and Perez is seen in a squatted position behind a banister, armed with a rifle. Carrillo moves to his left.

Carrillo: She's probably coming down. You hear her?
Perez: Yup.
Carrillo: Come out with your hands up first!
Marquez: [Unintelligible]
Perez: Put your hands up!
Carrillo: Vanessa, no gun okay?
Perez: [Sternly] Vanessa! Drop whatever's in your hand, right now!
Carrillo: Does she have the gun?
Perez: Drop it!
