this is a google picture of course not a picture that comes from recently. we can tell you that the authorities have informed us while rick was speaking that was an active shooter situation. then seconds later police confirmed the shooter is dead. did the police shoot him or her? did he or she commit suicide? about these matters we don t have information. but rick leventhal is with us again. do we know whether this person had made his or her way into the building? that s not clear. what i can tell you is according to a local assignment editor at a local television station in nashville, the suspect is down after tear gas and multiple shots fired. apparently some of those shots fired by the metro police who did respond the police department did respond to this active shooter situation at that movie theater in the suburb of antioch. over 40 police units were dispatched to the scene. s.w.a.t. team on scene as well. again, we are now hearing that the shooter has been neutralized
encounters him, shoots him, and he s dead. people that work at the sprint store next door tell us she believed just from looking at the guy at the back door at 9:00 in the morning may have been in his early 30s, had what she described as sandy brown hair. one of backpacks was an army green color as she put it of the. she didn t get the color of the other one. authorities tell us one of the backpacks was on the suspect and the other backpack was left on the scene there inside the theater. but we have not heard one person in any way that this gunman ever fired at anybody. is it possible we have every reason to believe that this began at the back door of the sprint store at 9:00. it was four hours later before the rest of this happened. we know from the sprint store employee that the guy seemed to be just sort of hanging around in the back at least an hour. whether he stayed there the entire time or not, he came back. and he didn t go in there shooting everything up, unless
scanner traffic indicated the suspect may have left a backpack inside the theater. that has to be checked by police. extra police patrols have been assigned to the bellevue eight movie theater. gerald ford who works at the ice center nearby said the business was on lock down and no one was allowed to leave in or out. he said there were about 25 people there at the time. quoting now, we are waiting on instructions from police we have not been contacted yet, he said quoting again, we had a parent come in and they were just kind of told us there was a bunch of cops posted outside. enquote. a s.w.a.t. team was on scene, according to scanner traffic. again, all of that from the nashville tennesseean newspaper. tom daily says he heard the shots and works nearby. tom are you with us? name here. what happened? we were trying to promote our market we had police officers come in and tell us to lock the doors and close everything. after that we heard numerous
