Lieutenant buckley with the Police Department. Unfortunately with this tragic situation today we have to confirm that we have two civilians casualties on scene and we have the death of one Police Officer. The death of the officer on scene was from the university of Colorado Springs Police Department. The ucss Police Department and the college will release information about the officer at a later time. We have four civilians transported to local hospitals with gunshot wounds and we have other transported to hospitals with gunshot wounds. Nine individuals are in Good Condition at this time. There will be an Information Center set up at 6 to 9. The number for that will be 7193854362. Im going to turn it over to police chief peter carey to make a statement. I was able to spend a little bit of time at the hospitals we apologise. Were obviously experiencing some audio problems. Let me know when that is cleared up. I will bring it back to daren porcher. Former detective for new york Police Department. Its about what we feared. We were getting indications, i would say as early as the News Conference an hour and a half an ago. There were several questions to the Police Officer on that point. There are fatalities inside the parenthood building. The lieutenant was vague, would not confirm anything at the time. It led us to believe that weve got the press conference back. Lets go back to it. We mourn the loss of a very brave Police Officer. We just wanted to make sure that Everybody Knows that while this was a terrible, terrible tragedy, it could have been much worse. They were able to get were trying to figure it out and we apologise again. Thats the mayor of Colorado Springs. Were having all kinds of fits and starts with our audio and we apologise for that. Your thoughts now that we have one Police Officer killed and two civilian casualties on the scene there, inside the planned parenthood building. For starters, i hear a lot of praise being extended for the first responders, but i have a lot of praise that should be extended towards the individuals that managed the planned parenthood facility because a large group of the individuals that were inside of the planned parenthood facility were in what is referred to as a safe room. It is a room let me have you hold your thought. Going back to lieutenant buckley. Again, no more questions. Thank you for your patience. Look for information from the office it figures. The moment we get clean audio the briefing is over. You were saying you had some praise for the employees, people who were working inside the planned parenthood building. Right. When you think of a facility such as a planned parenthood, its safe to say nationally there has been a high number of threats against these types of facilities across the country exactly. That perform abortionrelated activities. What they constructed was what was referred to as a safe room. The safe room fortifies individuals going into this room and it closes the door. They merely wait for Emergency Assistance to come near it to retrieve them. They may be in that room for hours sometimes, but there was a large number of the employees and patients that were in the safe room. So i thought that that was a highly proactive move from the perspective of the individuals at planned parenthood if youre one of these organizations that dont have if youre in one of those planned parenthood facilities and you dont have a safe room, you better construct one now. Absolutely that would be the clear message. Absolutely. We look at these instances that have occurred in these abortion facilities nationally. Weve had abortion doctors being killed. We had a protest as recently as august at this same facility. I guess the green light went off in someones mind that we have to provide the proper facilities in our facility. I agree that we need to also give praise to what extent do you believe the surveillance cameras, the video that would have been everywhere, i would think, at a facility like planned parenthood might have played a role in helping the Police Identify where the shooter was actually in the building. We know that at one point the officers were able to make their way inside the building. If you assume for a second that there was someone with the Colorado Springs Police Department watching the feed, we know the officers inside yell for the shooter and that maybe the shooter yells back, responds in some way. We know that did happen and that maybe was part of the information that was relayed to the officers from the Security Camera to help identify where this shooter was inside the building. Its possible, correct. Thats possible. Theyre replicating the rest of the society. Video is all over. This is a case in point where it worked for the benefit of law enforce once again, like i mentioned, planned parenthood is high on the threat level. Therefore its understandable to have this video. In essence what it did was assist Law Enforcement in determining the location to counter a resistance of this episode more about that tomorrow, but it seems a possible scenario at least that clearly the safe room was hugely beneficial absolutely and clearly the fact that there was surveillance cameras everywhere, you would think. We will learn more about that tomorrow. May have played a role in bringing this to a conclusion. Going back to the site now. Jim, if you would, we didnt hear much of that briefing. I trusted you heard a bit more. We did learn that two civilians were killed inside of that building and with one university of Colorado University springs officer as well. I do not yes. Thats correct. No ids on anybody as yet. We do not know whether the two civilians were, perhaps, punishments, visitors, nurses or doctors at the clinic. Again, no idea and no idea on the Police Officer other than the fact that it was a university of colorado campus. We understand he was working today. He heard the call for mutual aid, if you will, and made his way over here to the scene and that is when he encon turret the gunman and was shot and killed. We saw big buses going by, public transportation. It said evacuation transport. Those buses were filled with people. They appeared to be civilians, perhaps people that were in some nearby buildings. They may be transported, taken out of the scene itself and theyre going to be going down to be possibly interviewd and processed now by the police. Again, a very, very sad turn. Once again, three People Killed here, one Police Officer and two civilians just for clarity, so the officer who was killed was working for the university of colorado, working there at the Colorado Springs campus; is that correct . Back tracked saying that syrian troops could be used to fight against i. S. I. L. France has always maintained that as add could not be involved. This was said the syrian foreign minister had welcomed his earlier statement. Translation this is better late than never. If fabios is serious about fighting terror and working with forces on the Ground Fighting d. A. E. S. H. , we welcome that. This requires a change in the attitude of france and other countries towards the Syrian Crisis a former ambassador to nato says the french government is under pressure to appear tough on i. S. I. L. After the paris attacks the most important problem that Francois Hollande has is to reassure the people of france that he is doing Everything Possible to prevent further terrorism in france after this incredible slaughter of just two weeks ago. That means making the priority going after i. S. I. S. And its not just about Foreign Policy elements, its also about the domestic because the right wing, particularly a marine leppan of the National Front is working very hard to oppose the president by saying that he has been ineffective, refugees have to be kept out, et cetera. I suspect earlier today with the statement by the foreign minister that forces are syria would be welcome, was an effort to play into that and i suspect also that subsequent that there was some pressure brought to bear on the french government particularly by washington, maybe by london coming up later in the news hour we will have more on the aftermath of the attacks in paris.
