so that s all to be determined. and, also, you know, they just don t know how he got to this other town, newark, delaware. and they don t know who was last to see him and how he was killed. so, again, as you say, no murder scene yet. just the site where he was found. what a bizarre story! thanks for digging. we ll follow it right along with you. take you back to the story just outside of phoenix, arizona, in chandler. we ve been telling you about the shoot-out at the chandler mall. we are now told there are hostages being held at a restaurant across from the mall. so here s what we know. apparently they re being held at a baja fresh restaurant. arizona time here, it s lunchtime. people are eating lunch. could be a busy spot. there are also confirmed shots fired in the restaurant. we re not clear if the man who
for him, and i don t know how the information was obtained but he was located by our officers in this shopping area north of the mall and he was found to be in the baja fresh. we have that area locked down. we are trying to establish communications with him. at this point we haven t confirmed if there are hostages or not inside there. i think we re looking at perhaps the baja fresh. is the baja fresh part of the mall on the screen? we re looking if you re watching with us on screen right, the green and the red lettering. is that part of the mall, sir? well, it s part of the whole shopping area. i don t think it s actually on the mall property. but the main road that divides the mall, you ll see to the south is probably the main mall area. and just to the north is another shopping area. i see. that particular restaurant is in that area. let me back up and ask you, detective, and confirm this for me. one of our affiliates out of
the reporter from fox 10 for the valley is live outside the chandler mall. what are you saying? reporter: afternoon. i can tell you it is a very chaotic scene. very intense. the mall is surrounded by dozens of patrol cars from different agencies. just a while ago there were shots fired at the baja fresh and dozens of cars went speeding by. and i have never seen anything like this, so intense here, in chandler. i talked with some shoppers, with one map, who told me he was inside sears, buying some sneakers and by the time he walked across the store people were saying get out, get out, the mall is being evacuated. he said it was a very orderly evacuation and that people were following instructions. shepard: now, there was a shooting. there is a suspect. is it believed now that the suspect is in the baja fresh and that the police are staging around him but have not carbon in in?
police officer. he s somewhere inside of that mall. apparently he was accidentally re-lesed back in december from the pinole county sheriff s office. the u.s. marshals have been trying to track this guy down and found him. we know shots have been firing inside of that mall according to our affiliate. we re staying on that story for you. also we re learning of this high school shooting in omaha, nebraska. i just spoke with an officer who is working that story. he told me there are two victims, not students. two adult victims. and he also told me the suspect is in police custody. we re watching those stories but we re also watching this story. i have some surveillance video i want to show you. let s roll the video. this is a parking garage. this is wilmington, delaware. and the man you are about to see is john wheeler. here he is coming through the middle of your shot. the former pentagon official worked under three presidents. this was last wednesday evening. keep in mind that is le
restaurant bring in detective ramer from the chandler police department. detective, first things first, can you confirm for me that this guy inside this baja fresh restaurant is the same fugitive daniel munoz perez who was across the street in the mall. we haven t confirmed who it is at this point but we do believe the same person who had a shooting at the mall is in fact at the baja fresh as we speak. we still have yet to confirm if there are hostages inside. that is obviously a concern that we have but we re establishing communications with the suspect inside the store, inside the restaurant and we re trig to confirm if in fact there are hostages inside. right about noon, we had a it was an undercover task force that was following a robbery suspect. they made contact with him. at that point, a shoot-out ensued. this was just outside the chandler fashion center mall. at that point, the suspect fled into the mall.
