baltimore police commissioner. nice to have you with us. i know you have been following this from the very beginning. i want to start with d.o.j. said. quote, the goal of the review is to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses that day and to identify lessons learned and best practices to help first responders prepare and to respond to active shooter events. we ve seen these types of reviews before in pulse, in san bernardino. where do they ultimately lead, though? they re going back and they re looking at the incident from beginning to end. but ultimately, we ve learned our lessons at columbine. we ve learned that you don t have time to waste, that you ve got to get in there. so with this investigation, i really don t know what will be gained. i feel that this is more of an effort to play hot potato with failure and stall. we know that there are answers that the public, these poor parents, everyone deserves right now. so the federal g ....
Lookal those things. so disturbing. two mass shootings back to back. what sort of moment are we in as a country? yeah. the scareiest is a holiday weekend and that means large gatherings. that s what i m most concerned about. one thing that s different from 2019 or 2018, we were then talking about a specific shooter type. young men around a white supremacist ideology. this is different that it s personal motivations. we don t know or understand the motivation and why these shooters have taken on the targeted attacks and it is a blend and makes it more difficult to police. ones a suspect of these in some sort of terrorist ideology or hate ideology is they are ....
Of a shopping business district. it s hard to say we are a couple days before the thanksgiving holiday, all of the last minute shoppers were going to be there. i haven t gotten any reports on how many people were inside, and is not sure, i apologize! do we know and i m guessing that you don t, but i want to ask the multiple fatalities, do we know if it s store employees? i do not know. do we know much about the kind of weapon or weapons that were used? no ma am, i do not. from here, what s happened over the next hour? where is the investigation go? once we can verify that the building is secure, that there is no other hidden gunmen, so to speak, it gets turned over to our criminal investigation, the forensic section, and i just do a poll i just like the basically like any other, we work in the homicide, active shooter type, the group of investigation at that point. do you know at this point if the shooter acted alone? ....
We know that there are answers that the public, these poor parents, everyone deserves right now. so the federal government, glad they re involved, but that should not stop them from answering the questions that they are being presented. and now there are more questions this morning because the, curiously, the new york times is reporting the officers were trained to respond to an active shooter type situation two months ago. how does that change the scope of things, in your mind? well, i would if the d.o.j. is looking at this, it s the training is the training they went through sufficient? you can t just have a table top training for active shooter. you ve got to put the officers, put the teams into positions where they re actually doing real scenarios where they re hearing gunfire, where they are having to stack up together, having to practice entry of a ....
Las vegas. go that way. go that way, go that way. pete: just from what you ve seen, your reaction to, you know, those men that were clearing those floors and what they were face. from a law enforcement standpoint from a shooter type from 1200 yards away is quite difficult. it s going to have to effectively rely on some 911 calls to try to localize where those shots are coming from. if you were standing in the crowd it would be quite difficult. the response to the hotel and the actual room where the shooting came from from what i understand was handled beautifully. breach, breach, breach. every second is a casualty. that s why it s imperative the officers at the scene have to get there as quickly as possible and neutralize the threat. they are shooting right at us, guys. everybody stay down. pete: what kind of gear am i going to be wearing today? we are going to put on you a ballistic vest. this is what we operate and train. in we always train the way we want to operate so g ....
