With Malice recounts the happenings in a minute by minute chronological order.
====================
"While the dispatcher spoke with Officer Walker, ambulance driver J.C. Butler radioed to inform police that the man shot was a Dallas police officer and that they were about to leave the murder scene with his body." -- With Malice (2013) page 161
====================
"William "Eddie" Kinsley slammed the back door of the ambulance shut and climbed into the passenger seat next to Butler. As Butler pulled away from the crowd, he again tried to contact the dispatcher to tell him they were en route to the hospital, but this time Ted Callaway was on the radio. "I ran over to the squad car," Callaway recalled, "I didn't know if anybody reported it or not. So I got on the police radio and called them."
Ted Callaway: Hello, hello, hello.
J.C. Butler: 602
Callaway: - calling from right here on Tenth Street - 500 block - this police officer's just shot. I think he's dead.
Dispatcher: 10-4, we have the information. The citizen using the radio will remain off the air now."

====================
"While Callaway was talking to the dispatcher, T.F. Bowley took Tippit's gun, which was lying on the hood of the squad car, and put it in the front seat, next to the used car salesman."
"After the officer on the other side of the radio told Callaway to hang up and keep the lines clear," Benavides recalled, "he jumped out and ran around and he asked me did I see what happened and I said, 'Yes.'"
"Callaway reached back into the squad car and picked up Tippit's .38 caliber service revolver off the front seat. He turned to Benavides and said, "Let's chase him," but the mechanic declined. Callaway snapped the revolver open and T.F. Bowley - who was looking on - saw that no rounds had been fired. Callaway tucked the gun in his belt and turned to the cab driver."

"Butler kneels next to Tippit's body and rolls him on his back as Kinsley pulls the stretcher cot from the back of the station wagon. Tippit's pistol is out of it's holster, lying on the pavement near his right palm. Ted Callaway moves the gun to the hood of the squad car, then with Scoggins and Guinyard, helps the attendants lift the body onto the stretcher. As they do so, the first Dallas police officer to arrive at the murder scene, reserve sergeant Kenneth Croy, pulls up. Butler and Kinsley push the cot into the back, slam the door and are off in a flash to Methodist Hospital about a mile away."

====================
"Ted Callaway can hear the confusion and desperation of the police over Tippit's car radio as they struggle to locate the scene of the officer's shooting. He lowers his big frame into the patrol car and grabs the mike, "Hello, hello, hello!" "From out here on Tenth Street," he continues, "five-hundred block. This police officer's just shot. I think he's dead." "Ten-four, we [already] have the information'" dispatcher Jackson replies, exasperated. "The citizen using the radio will remain off the air now." The last thing he needs is some gung-ho citizen tying up the airwaves."
"Ted Callaway climbs out of the squad car and spots his mechanic, Domingo Benavides. "Did you see what happened?" "Yes", Benavides says. Callaway picks up Tippit's service revolver. "Let's chase him," he says. Benavides wants no part of it. Callaway tucks the gun in his belt and turns to the cabdriver, Scoggins."
