this is blow macarthur. they've had heavy weapons out, ambulances on standby. unclear in anyone is hurt. i asked residents if they were told to do anything specific and they said, no. one officer told me he thought this started as a domestic situation. but the man involved is a home invasion robbery suspect. it's believed this may not be a hostage situation. i also wanted to mention that nearby parker elementary school is on semi lockdown, meaning that kids are not allowed to walk around in the yard but it's business as usual for students in the classroom. neighborhoods, i asked if they'd heard any shots or any flash bangs, anything like that, they said overall, except for the police activity that you see here, it's been rather quiet and we've heard that a police spokesperson is on the way. that's the latest from here. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, nbc bay area news. >> we'll bring you the latest throughout the newscast. the work on the facebook ipo is almost finished. >> that is right. they have literally built a huge stage for tomorrow's big opening at the nasdaq. and scott mcgrew says bankers will set the price on the stock, right?
