We dont know whether the suspect is still alive in the house. Weve heard from a couple of authorities that the suspect may have shot himself, but we dont know whether thats correct or not. Theyre going to assume, as naturally you would, that he remains a threat. And so theyre going to do this entry by the book. And thats what youre seeing right now. But they believe that the threat to the community is pretty well over because they believe they know where the suspect is and that the suspect is contained and no longer a threat. But until they actually put eyes on the suspect theyre going to do this by the rules, and thats what youre seeing play out right now. While in the meantime area schools are on lockdown, the sheriff has told people in the neighborhood if they live anywhere near sawing ugs high school to lock their doors and stay inside. And if they see the suspect to call 911. But they believe they know where the suspect is and theyre about to make an entry. And fully confirm that ....
Gunman fled quickly, ran through a baseball field you that saw earlier in the aerial picture that s near this residential area, and was dropping things as he went, perhaps a backpack, perhaps he was carrying additional ammunition or other firearms, and then got into this house. we don t know whether this was just a house that was nearby and open or whether he has some connection to this house. but in any event, i think it s pretty safe to say, andrea, this is over. you can see from the aerials we re showing on the right side of the screen, pete, they have the area surrounded. do you have anything more you can share about the techniques they used in surrounding that house and entering the house? reporter: they used an investigative technique to track the shooter but i think it s best we not say what it is because they may want to use that sort of technique again and probably don t want to give away how they do it. good enough. pete, i know you re going to be standing by. jim cavan ....
Schools. jim, you were saying that we suspect that the ammunition may have been what the suspect dropped running through that ball field and going into that house. that s right, andrea. l.a.s.o. is going to treat that scene like a crime scene leerks a bomb scene. they have to guess it could be an explosive device. they ll bring the bomb squad in to the ball field. the bomb squad will check out the backpack, make sure it s not a device, some kind of explosive device. once they render it safe they can check, it may just be ammunition. and this guy might have got in the house that s.w.a.t. has surrounded, you saw the bearcat vehicle in the front. that s l.a.s.o. s.w.a.t. i ve worked with them. i ve 2r5i7bd with them. they re the best. l.a.s.o. is the largest sheriff s department in the world. they re very, very good. they re very efficient, as you can see today. and their s.w.a.t. can handle a barricaded suspect no problem. so as long as that suspect is in ....
Know, dropped the backpack trying to escape and got in there. it s interesting that he s dressed all in black. look, some people dress all in black. there s nothing wrong with that. but when you get into a shooter, sometimes it can be an indicator of preparation. when you have the backpack, you re all in black. certainly you have guns. so you ve thought about it, you ve prepared for it. then the time of day of the attack right when school begins is another indicator that he came prepared. so this is a guy preparing, probably a student or a former student at the school. not for shower, though. we don t know for sure. the deputies and detectives will have find that out. if he s underage, you know, where did he acquire the guns. it s been my personal experience and i think all the studies, i can t tell you how many cases over the 33 years i was in atf. we got the kids got the guns sfrt house. they got their guns from their home. so that s often the case. sometimes not. sometimes they de ....
Try to listen, here are key take aways from all of these school shooters, these things usually do end quickly. the secret service said a minute or two or two minutes and they all end very quickly. have your students get out of the area, stop, stay alive for a few minutes, this guy went off t two-and-a-half nilesmiles away. that is about a 45 minute walk. if he is running maybe shorter. that is a pretty good distance he got away and dopingropping ay backpa backpack. what we have heard from parents that got kids out of the house, i trusted him. ....
