outstanding, they re still looking for the person that did this. the other information here that we have is the l.a. county sheriff has also tweeted this is still very much an active scene, and they re asking people who live in the area to shelter in place, lock everything down in their homes, close their garages, close their cars, lock everything up so there is no place for anyone to hide and keep their students with them. from what we understand, the shooting happened about 20 minute or so before school was about to begin, so there was a lot of people on campus as this day was getting going here. they re trying to make sure they account for everyone, going through the students, reuniting them with their parents at a park nearby to get those people back where they need to, but we do know that resources with coming in from across the state. according to the sheriff, they re saying the atf is also responding to the shooting as well as they dcanvass this area.

public about telling americans not to travel. it reminds me of what we saw several months ago in boston, in the city of boston. the shelter in place strategy. lock everything down and stay indoors and no false moves and then you ll be safer. just with your background, colonel, what do you think about that as a way to combat terror? well, we may, in fact, be safer but it sure doesn t indicate to anybody who is watching us we re winning the war on terror or that we have al qaeda on the run. the reality is, even post 9/11 i was on quite a bit and i remember saying we as americans have to go about our daily business, realizing that some things are going to happen but don t let the terrorists win. don t give them the upper edge. it s okay to go out there and say we have threats. jenna: are we doing that here? let s continue living the way we re supposed to live. jenna: do you think we re doing it here and changing our business overseas? i understand that it s legitimate to say, listen.
