More than likely, EMS is in standby on the outside of the police perimeter.

The scene must be safe before they enter.

We saw this with J. Closs.

Jmho

I just thought it was interesting the reporter that is on scene made a point to mention that there has been no medical vehicles that he has seen. I assume they believe the scene is safe/no active threat considering the casual nature of everyone wondering around and residents outside their apartments again.

The helicopter is back.
(My personal opinion on the helicopter- the news team has mentioned this is a new helicopter that Birmingham LE have recently purchased. They've even said the name of it a few times. Not to diminish the seriousness of this situation/belittle LE or Birmingham but personally I think this is a "shiny new toy" that they're a little quick to use.)

The 30 year veteran talking head is saying in his opinion he feels they've had good information that she is there and that they're holding off instead of going in guns blazing bc they don't want to endanger Cupcake.

oh God... a big white van with police escorts just arrived

I feel sick.

 

[girlhasnoname]

They received a tip this morning and felt it viable enough to involve BPD, FBI, Marshals, etc.

 

[CSIDreamer]

SWAT BABY!!!!! THEY JUST ROLLED IN!!!

 

[TTF14]

Looks like a SWAT type team is spilling out of the unmarked white van I mentioned.

I am watching the live stream on CC and it said something about SWAT making a 'dynamic entry' ???

I have read on Twitter that police "swarmed" the apartments... MOO

Active search underway for Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney

From the article:
[...]

Birmingham Police have formed a large perimeter, cordoning off apartments in the 2700 block of Jefferson.

[...]

CBS 42’s Michael Clark and Jessalyn Adams are on the scene, where Jefferson County’s Star 1 helicopter is aiding in the search. Members of Kamille’s family, including her parents and grandparents, are present on the scene. A crowd has gathered outside of the police perimeter.
