there were multiple chain restaurants this were on lockdown. earlier we had cellphone video of what appeared or what sounded like a mother and her daughter running out of a dillards shopping store. i mean, you could see and hear the panic. you can hear the breathing. let me stop talking and let you hear it for a moment. hands up, hands up! let s go. let s go, let s go. hands up. [ speaking foreign language ] let s go, let s go. let s go. run. run. and you can hear the panic, the worry in their voices. again, we are getting some
now, but they are not rendering it a safe scene. right. that is because they still have tactical officers walking through the mall, walking through the walmart. they are dealing with sounds like multiple scenes here. different locations. and obviously this mall, it is a mall, so very large area that police need to search. there is going to be as we ve seen video and heard people hiding, hunkering down, afraid to walk out oof some of these rooms. people in the stock rooms, the bathrooms of all of the different shops and store. and we yet don t know how many people were inside, but probably in the thousands. so you have to imagine the panic as well of people that were hearing gunshot, people reacts ending to that. so people will be injured as a result of that, running for their lives. it does seem as we have been told that they have at least a suspect, a subject, possibly the shooter in custody.

i don t know. you can hear, you know, the breathi breathing, the near panic, you can hear in the background the hands up and programs the one holding the phone, let s go, no, no, no, let s go. ktsm is reporting that multiple people are injured. rosa flores is back with us. that is palpable. you felt the fear. and as you and i were talking during the break, because people have that instinct to take these videos, that is how we re able to be there on the scene at this moment in time. and here is what we re learning from police. we know shots rang out at a walmart in el paso. police responded to the scene. we did know that this is an area that is a shopping center, that is called the vista mall based
