I say Ted Callaway helped load Tippit's body into the ambulance and then went over to the patrol car radio to report the shooting to the police dispatcher.
Martin Weidmann says I am wrong, that Callaway got on the patrol car radio first... and then helped load the body into the ambulance.
Try to understand what I have written before jumping in with anymore stupid comments.
Callaway checked Tippit first, saw the wound to his head and concluded that he was dead. He then went to the police car and told the dispatcher exactly that; that he thought the officer was dead. By then the ambulance had arrived and it's driver saw Tippit lying in the street covered by a blanket or jacket. When he pulled the cover off, he noticed it was a police officer, so he ran back to his ambulance to let the dispatcher know the victim was a police officer. He couldn't get through, because Callaway was on the radio, and returned to the ambulance. Then Callaway, who had finished his short call, and Bowley both helped to load Tippit into the ambulance.
