Saw. She grabbed his arm, it happened in seconds. Well get to that press conference as soon as it begins. Lets check in with dan simon, live for us right now in marysville. Dan, what else are we expecting to learn today from investigators . Hi, fredricka. That press conference is coming up. Were standing in front of the hospital. We should tell you that there are two patients here, two girls. Their conditions are said to be extremely critical after being shot at very close range. You talked about that handgun that was recovered. That was a 40 caliberberretta handgun, highcapacity weapon. And police recovered it at the scene.
