We want to take a live look t now in baltimore where we areo w awaiting hea press conferenceone that should be happening anyng moment now. Mo you can see the police chief stepping up there. He lets take a listen. Isn. Its been a goal of ours infs baltimore to keep the informed about critical eventsvt that affect our community. Omni rarely do we keep the mediaed informed about one of your ur one of your homes. E of so, we want to again thank fox5 45 for their proactive pac efforts to really help us us evacuate that building. Bld that saved us a whole lot ofle f time. You guys are to be commendedeme for your active role in this thi effort. Association im going to turn o turn it over to director tj smith. H. We learned several thingserhi since we briefed you last. We bey chances are well probably probl brief again tomorrow as weain continue to learn more thingsto about this suspect. This spect so, just bare with us as weh usw make our way through this information but its important obviously im preaching to thehe choir to get you information ina timely yet accurately. Ccuratel so thats what we want to be, t timely and accurate. Lycc so ill turn it over tove t director smith and then well w take some questions. Director t. J. Smith Media Relations director for Baltimore Police department. Ept. Beginning, about 1 20 we got a call here at fox 45 on 41st avenue 41st street. Tr this is at area where multipleti television stations are. A this is on the main road r facing 41st street. T. 1 20 it was a person in theern n lobby with some type of deaff df view. We also had a call far a carcalf fire out in front of thehe location. We were quickly able toklable determine that that car was was intentionally set on fire. Our bomb squad, the arson a squad, the Baltimore City firer department along with the Baltimore Police departmente were dispatched. D we were also quickly able too learn that this person hadn h essentially barricaded himself inside of the fox 45 news5ew indication so our swat team and our negotiators were also dispatched to the scene. To tcene so, all of this is going on around 1 20 this afternoon. Ftno while officers were arriving,ivn the fox 45 staff were evacuating the rest of their t employees from the facility. Acil the security person who called it in is not an employee with wh fox 45 but he was also able too escape after talking to the suspect for several minutes as s this situation was evolving. Apparently the suspect broughtcb in some type of device, we believe a flash drive andash ive wanted fox 45 to air somethinghi on the news. N what is it that he wanted themtt to air is something that were a still investigating. Inves we dont know the full answersun to that right now. That righ the suspect had on some sort sor of outfit and its being described basically as a panda outfit onesie, a onesietypenesy accident that watypeoutfit thay hes 25, from Howard County maryland. Ryla were still following up onpn this investigation as we iesti speak. Im not positively identifyingdf him at this point because we have yet to charge theehe suspect. Hes at a local hospital receiving treatment. Reatment. Let me go back to the device that h him. He had on some type of surgical mask. He had some type of coat onfoa underneath of this outfit and a there was this red device thateh is being described like maybe lm a red floatationtype device dic with devices in it that lookedhd like explosives. Xplo what we have been able to find t out is those devices were actually Chocolate Candy barsar wrapped in aluminum foil withm t wiring connecting each of o them. Em there was also a small motherllt board and that mother boardoa has been described asescribed a something that you might seeg ay he in a fire extinguisher thatih was also attached to this contraption and the wire washe e also running down the sleeve the of his jacket into his hand basically emulating some type of detonation type devic the appearance of it it was to s be an explosive type device. Ev the suspect was inside of theidf vestibule area. A our swat team, our policeur pol officers were all outside. Outse we were attemptinging communication with theat suspect. The suspect came out of thehe building, started to walk and advance across the streettree towards where officers were w staged and officers were officse forced to fire upon him. We know at this point thatint ta three officers fired andnd struck the suspect. Susct the suspect was shot more than one time, i believe maybeie three times, that number canum c change. Ge the suspect is listed in serious but stable condition cdi at a local hospital here in baltimore. Why did this happen . Why did h he wear a reapplica bomb today . Y we dont know. Kno were still investigatingestigai this. They used a robot to disarm him, to take the clothing offthg of him, to take it device offdee of him in order to move in to to provide treatment to him. Him onc t that, they were able to closely examine the device andea see what it actually was. Were still in the process of clearing the fox 45 building. Bn we were able to account forccouf everyone but of course Public Safety is the most important thing at this point time. So, as it stands, thats wherehw we are. Re. The suspect is expected to survive and well be workinge w with our states attorneysttor office as well as our federal fr partners as we move through thr with charging him. H this is going the take more tako than the time that im tt standing here and its goingit to take more than a couple ofreo days to determine everythingne e that went on here. On h and with that with that, t lets ask some questions. Quest reporter do you knowepor anything about this guy sbo history . I know youre notknowr publicly identifying him but do you know anything about his background . At this point we do not d have any information on his background. Gr i know there was hesitationet about what he was saying. Any communication with him that he was not complying initially. Yeah, we were trying to get y him to comply and to show us u his hands so that we could get t treatment to him quickly. Qck he actually was certainly cta we have information that heon t was nodding his head no whenhean officers were trying to get tt him to show them his hands. Is hn i cant get into all of thell of statements but i can tell that i you he was saying no when weg n were asking him to comply. Com car fire [inaudible]indibl it happened relatively rel quickly and i dont know ifonto the folks at fox 45 exactlyxa knew everything that was goingin on at the time. This vehicle, weg on didnt knoo if that was associated with a the event but we now know the vehicle was associated withiate the event. Eve was there ever a point the where police were negotiating wr withe him. Im youre listening to cityy officials and the baltimore bti police chief briefing thehi media about the bomb threat that occurred earlier this afternoon. W bff fox station in baltimoreai the tv station that was was evacuated earlier for thator t bomb threat, theyre briefing bf the situation saying itaying appears as though the man the was of explosive material. Matea well continue to follow this and well bring you the latest as it comes in. Were back after this. This is fox5 local news at at 5 00.

S s it was backed up against this t storage container so the backac door couldnt be the cost of the trailer estimated right around 3,000un3 but what was inside, the equipment, well, thats estimated over 10,000. 10,0 it took years to purchase thee e camping equipment inside this trailer. Trai some of it even donated to boy t scout troop number 43. Troomb probably about 10,000 worth of tents, stoves, st cooking equipment, lanterns, tables, popup canopies, water coolers, axes, dutch ovens,ch o pretty much imagine your boy yy scout troop camping we had it hd in there. Reporter at theirorr a meeting last night troophtro leader robbed henderson had todh break the news to the boys. I told them sometimes bad things happen. H what we do with that definest dn or character. C reporter the pastor of river of grace church conniera thompson has been happy toceas p allow the troop not only a place to park their trailer t but also a place to meet t inside their church. Crc she like so many others cantern understand why someone take the scout supplies. S i think its horrible. Rible i think its sad. I think its desperate. Despe reporter Prince William county police and the troope an want you to take a really good o look at the trailer. The it even has a missing left fender. Any clues could be helpful. Elpf troop leader henderson says he has mixed feelings about theeelg people who did this.

Anyg reporter the scouts sco filed a report with the policehe Department Last night andast nin police told the scout leader they dont think this wasnks was equipment was taken to somen tom pawnshop and simply sold.

Ic this is the second time welliml see Alex Ovechkin face off against Sidney Crosby in the i post season. In 2009 both players registered a hat trick in the th same playoff game. That was a big deal. Atea that was the year though tho crosby went on to win thein stanley cup that season. Meanwhile ovechkin was the t lone player to notch 50 goals 5 in the regular season. Hes the caps leading scorer. Die is the media making too muchingc about the faceoff b and crosby . Yes and no. N i think its fair because they came in together, they kind ofhd have gone back and forth two fth different styles of play butt st the engines of their teams so i mean its fair to make that battle happen but there is ae is lot more that goes into it foror sure and we see that but it keeps the tension off a lot ofn other guys that arent ast a necessarily getting thehe spotlight whereas those two are.
