Earlier this month, Tuggle called the officer's response "totally unacceptable."
Police shared firefighters' dash cam video from early on July 6 that shows the armed man cross their path downtown. They note that the man is ditching a gun and later searching in bushes. The firefighters call 911, and later tell an officer they spot a few blocks away. But she responds, "This isn't my district."
Police say the gun was found later.
Tuggle said officers have a "responsibility to serve any place in the city."
