Police in Tulsa have arrested two suspects in the shootings of five men in Tulsa. Three have died; two others are wounded. The suspects are white, all five victims are black, and police are still deciding on whether to classify the murders as a hate crime. Meanwhile, in Sanford Florida, a Grand Jury will convene on Tuesday to determine whether to arrest George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin. Jury selection in the trial of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards begins in North Carolina on Thursday, just as corporate earnings for the first quarter of 2012 are released. Inflation reports are also due out next week. Charlie Herman, business and economics editor for The Takeaway and WNYC and Callie Crossley, host of The Callie Crossley Show on WGBH, explore the stories for the week ahead.

I'm just an audio guy.. I make no claims to anything else.
I took the 911 call with the most audio informatiion regarding screams, pulled down some of the louder noises (the actual shot and a few times the woman caller gets a bit loud) so they don't hurt you while listening to the softer noises... Then ran it at a slower speed and pitch corrected it 100 percent true. Anyone with an ear for music can tell not a note has been changed.. Digital affords you this luxury. In the analog days we had to physically slow the tape/medium down and you lose pitch and clarity.
THIS AUDIO IS NOT ENHANCED per sey.. not like enhancing a photo.. the only enhancing has been to adust volume levels so you don’t hurt your ear listening to everything at relative volume levels.
There are a few swirling artifacts in this copy because I had to compres the wav file to a 128 kbps mp3 to fit on my page so you had a player to hear it on.. These artifacts are slight and will not distract.

This exercise is just a way to access the call and hear things you would not of as easily (but every bit of audio information from the original is still there) just listening to the raw recording. Akin to slowing down video without the frame per second limitations.
Why no mention of the General Services Administration excessive and frivolous spending scandal in relation to the President's rebuke of the Paul Ryan budget last week?
