Page 110 - Command Post News Today

Firefight they film, cameraman redden edwards gets a little too close to the action. >> there was a group of soldiers who were just returning from a trip. and then suddenly these gunshots rang out. so i went up on to the top of the actual command post. i wanted to get a full, what we call sequence of him firing. the first shot i got was on his right-hand side where the shell casings were coming out. so i basically got too close to the weapon and was hit by the shell casing. that will learn me no...

And neither one of us could remember why we didnt. but had we got into the humvee, we wouldnt have then got the pictures. >> we tried to cross an open stretch of road, we came under attack. theres incoming fire right now. >> fortunately, the crew and the soldiers make it back to the command post, but as they return, the men get the news they had been dreading, one member of their company, sergeant john penich, was killed in the incident. >> they were devastated. they were absolutely devastated. ...

For a modern day armageddon. >> this is the fbi command post. we have a fire at the compound in mt. carmel. the entire compound is going up right now. >> it was an epic debacle in united states law enforcement history. a deadly shootout followed by a 51-day siege that ended with more than 70 people dead in a raging inferno. all caught on live television with the whole world watching. two questions rise from the ashes of this american tragedy. who shot first and who started the fire? >> it began ...

We have a lot of questions for you tonight. as i just mentioned, the scene is considered secure. tell us what that means and what went into that. >> it means its secure from the standpoint that the police are not searching for an assailant. they dont believe there is any more killing going on or shooting. they have a static situation. they believe they have the event under control, and now they will go into a much slower forensic processing at the scene medical examiner, photography, for instanc...

If you can zoom in to the italian restaurant where you can see officers have made this their work space where they are speaking with witnesses that we have seen get into their cars and drive off and this has now been their makeshift command post at this location as they try to figure out exactly what happened. just before the break there was a person who you spoke to about the hair salon, you can see the salon right next door. thats the location from which she saw all of what happened and heard ...

Picture, they showed a picture of the command post. it was crammed full of people. one of the reasons i think theyre having difficulty getting people to the locations quickly is because the command post is overwhelmed with chiefs. you have to back this out and you have to have a chain of command that works with all the agencies that come together so it flows smoothly and quickly. if thats not the case and sweat was with matt theres a potential that he could have eluded them in the time it took t...

From the very beginning, ive been saying that people need to be in contact. again, these were murderers. we know they were in one cabin. the likelihood of them going to other cabins is pretty high. if anybody was in there, its so remote that they could have easily killed somebody and nobody would even know it. >> jonathan, is there a formal process for law enforcement to do that to actually have a log of a neighborhood and have people check in. say, you know what, we have scoured the neighborhoo...

That. hopefully there is evidence to prove that and that he is contained there. i believe some of the evidence that was taken out of that cabin, some food wrappings and fresh tracks and what not may be leaning in that direction but they are still processing that evidence. >> what else could they be doing? you say they have helicopters there. we heard bloodhounds earlier. how are they searching? >> they have all assets needed to take him into custody peacefully. they do aviation support thermal i...
