My understanding is that the -- the shooter -- the person came in and shot this man and this woman, then took the gun and shot himself at the scene there. it does appear that that is the limit of what was done, there are people who were injured fleeing the scene. somebody apparently had a cardiac situation perhaps in this scary moments right after that. and some people had injuries, ankle injuries and so on. which is very common, obviously, in this situation. so, again, this is, again, early inf...

So it should be very soon. >> okay. and as far as the suspect is concerned, we still dont know the identity. do you know about that will happen? >> we dont. as the chief said, theyre taking their time, being cautious, because he does have some -- so much ammunition, it appears in and around him. out of abundance of caution, i want to be careful. obviously our thoughts and prayers go out to their families and then their loved ones. >> and the five injured, have you spoken with them? >> our invest...

Howard county police in their twitter feed keeps tweeting at me that it has not been confirmed and were obviously saying that, as well. the early indications, again, thats what weve been reporting, is that the early information was that they believed it was possibly a domestic situation. i think that remains the theory that theyre working on and right now theyre just, again, trying to go through the -- any background they can find on this alleged shooter and the victims to determine exactly how ...

At the time, especially early on, there was a lot of people still stuck in the mall. im sure they were trying to find information. and not that, you know, domestic situation is any less scary or less concerning, but it does change the tenor of what is happening at the mall, rather than someone coming in randomly shooting at people, something that might have been more contained. so thats what we were trying to portray by relaying the information that we had. and again, all the caveats are importa...
