In Oregon, a woman was being attacked by her boyfriend. The woman’s daughter called 911 but didn’t want the man to know, so she told the operator she wanted a pizza. Here’s a transcript of the call:

911 Operator: Oregon 911

Caller: I would like to order a pizza at [address redacted].

911 Operator: You called 911 to order a pizza?

Caller: Uh, yeah. Apartment [redacted].

911 Operator: This is the wrong number to call for a pizza…

Caller: No, no, no. You’re not understanding.

911 Operator: I’m getting you now.

911 Operator: Is the other guy still there?

Caller: Yep, I need a large pizza.

911 Operator: All right. How about medical, do you need medical?

Caller: No. With pepperoni.
