at that point, hopefully he ll start to recover from his injuries we ll get somebody in there for a bedside interview, and over time he ll be arraigned, either in the hospital or in a court of law. you said he s still a potential risk. by virtue of where we are today. if he s not injured badly, we have to make sure he has adequate security in that hospital between private security state and local and federal officers. i can assure you they ll put the appropriate resources in that hospital or elsewhere as deemed necessary. and just to follow up here. you were saying you believe it could be a potential risk, a flight risk. but that s very unlikely considering the level of police presence that s there. what i m suggesting is that will be a part of the overall operational profile to make sure that we have enough security on site to ensure he doesn t strike to make a break, depending on
can you describe for us the kind of security the law enforcement presence at that hospital now? as we ve been here more have shown up. we stood here for a while before they started kicking the public and the news media out. here still about 100 feet from the emergency room. there are a lot of neighbors here. people who seem to be elated that maybe this is over they don t have to be so scared anymore. there s also members of the news media who are now showing up. it s a situation that everyone including many of the police officers who are now just coming trying to find out what s going on. one police officer i spoke to who came out of the emergency room sweat is inside about 100 feet from where we re standing right now. i want to bring in our law enforcement analyst tom fuentes. these are some critical moments. these are the moments that law enforcement officials want to keep him alive, that that is important. walk through what these guys are
other side of the border to see if we saw police action. we saw not one canadian police officer doing anything. that being said it s a totally agricultural area. it s not forested there. it s very open. we can tell you that the u.s. usually when you drive from the u.s. into canada you re checked by canadian border patrol. everybody going through had their trunks open to make sure they weren t carrying either of these two guys. that border station is where this all ended for david sweat. do we know he s going to be transported to another hospital or facility? or do you have any information whether or not he s going to stay there? it depends how seriously hurt he is. there s a helpicopter pad. if he s not searly hurt he would stay here.
not going in that ambulance, but walking close by. actually fairly close to the entrance of the emergency room of the hospital. across the street but it is close. this is a smaller hospital versus a huge hospital with a huge parking lot. but law enforcement now shaking hands with other law enforcement i see. jean is it possible they obviously feel a job has been done here. if it is possible for you potentially to talk to somebody who might be there, someone who s shaking hands, if that s a congratulations, maybe somebody who might be able to tell us and in fact confirm that david sweat was in fact in that particular ambulance and has been transported to the emergency room that would be helpful. what i m hearing from you is that you believe he is already inside the hospital and potentially being treated. there s a lot of law enforcement here. and right now, as you were talking, someone was trying to get into the hospital.
scene so you re ready. it appears, but must emphasize this is a fast-moving story. it appears at this point only one person was hurt and that person is david sweat. want to bring in matthew into the conversation former atf agent. when you see what has taken place here you have one dead you have one who is now being treated in this hospital shot how important is it as somebody who is in law enforcement to keep this man alive? well, i think, you know any time we shoot someone our first responsibility is to get them medical attention. that s what you see happening right now at the hospital. he s going to be getting medical attention. we don t know the extent of his injuries, but we ll learn that in the next couple hours or so hopefully. then you re going to see local, state, and federal law enforcement come up with a security plan at the hospital. because he still presents a significant risk dependent on the level of his injuries.
