finally seeing some progress as police as you mentioned trying to get this person out peacefully. >> reporter: that's correct. it's such a relief to see one person come out, two people come out and everybody come out. that would be the best news of all. the lapd's working to make that happen. they're trying to keep everyone safe inside the store as much as possible. but again, they're dealing wan armed man here, very dangerous situation. for everybody involved. including the officers. we did see during the early moments of this issue we did see officers putting their lives at risk running through the parking lot to rescue children in locked cars and people that were coming out of the windows. so it was quite a sight to see that bravery happening with lapd. those customers themselves very brave to climb out of that window and run for their lives to get away from the situation. a lot going on here. lapd doing a great job in trying to negotiate a peaceful surrender in this situation but still quite a few hostages still left inside. >> it seems so. and gil, you said just now that a couple would be released.
