  • A police officer just said Corwin Brown walked out of the house and an ambulance and fire truck just pulled up to Brian's home.
  • Police yelled to Corwin Brown, "Let me see your hands." South Bend Metro Homicide called in, per a source. Two SWAT members leaving area.
  • Corwin Brown rushed from the scene in an ambulance with a doctor and police officer, per another South Bend officer.
  • The doc with Corwin Brown in ambulance en route to hospital is a trauma doc and former St Joe County coroner. Brown believed to be alive.

...to assist was Greg Harden.

Per , person called to Corwin Brown's house is administrator Greg Harden, director of athletic counseling.

This twitter feed is a local radio reporter's and has a lot of real time reports of what he saw.

"please don't let me down" final words from unidentified coach before Brown came out

Looks like Harden's involvement was key to its resolution. Hoping that Brown's injuries are not life threatening.

....person brought in to talk Corwin Brown down was Bob Chmiel, ND's coordinator for football operations. Chmiel has an extensive Michigan background:

The 1971 Illinois-Chicago graduate had been serving as an assistant to the athletic director at the University of Michigan in '94-'95 following six years [1988 - 1993] in which he served as football recruiting coordinator for the Wolverines. The recruiting classes he brought to Ann Arbor were among the best in the country. The Chicago native originally served as a defensive assistant at Michigan under Bo Schembechler from 1981-84.

[Chmiel's wife] is the former Anne Dufek (sister of former Michigan players Don and Billy Dufek and daughter of former Wolverine Don Dufek Sr.)
