you doing? how are you holding up? i m doing fine. i m doing very well. just praying for the ones that were injured in it or affected beity actual shooting. walk me through what happened on yesterday evening. we had just got into the movie. we were across the hallway, the train wreck movie where the shooting occurred. just got done, probably about 7:30. and all of a sudden the screen went black and the alarm, pa system went off and set to evacuate the building closest exit immediately. we exited through the back, really a calm scene in the back. everybody was scrambling or chaotic at all. we walked around to the front of the movie theater. i saw a lady who had been wounded in the leg from a gunshot lying on the sidewalk with a couple of men around her kind of coaching her up making sure she was all right, waiting on the ambulance to get there.
sort of going over stuff. and it s a pretty calm scene. and i mean, they re just sort of talking. crime scene units have just arrived. so they ll process the crime scene, go over whatever evidence. they ll look for shell casings, anything else along the lines of sort of forensic stuff. but we know that one of the officers was shot in the elbow, another was shot in the back and taken to st. barnabas hospital here in the bronx. and like you said with non-life-threatening injuries. we expect some sort of press conference later this morning perhaps, later tonight into the morning once the nypd figures out exactly what happened here. all right, shimon as we continue on with you, what time did this happen? take us through exactly what you re heergaring either from eyewitnesses or from people what happened on the scene. very few people on the street. i talked to a few people to see

more calm scene now. the streets are closed, the officers have set up perimeter locations in at least three spots that i can see here. and if we were to be able to get further up the street, we might be able to get a better view of what took place up there. but obviously just as we saw in downtown boston after the bombing, that area will be closed off and it will be considered a crime scene and likely for some time, especially in the dark where it s a lot harder to find items that are there. and kerry, have you heard any reports of injuries or fatalities? the only fatality i can confirm is the one we ve spoken about and that s the m.i.t. police officer who was shot multiple times and was reported dead when they rushed them to the hospital. and do we have any idea if there s any connection between the shooting at m.i.t. and the violence happening now? the contingent of officers who have been involved with dealing with what took place
