certainly part of the community and you have the hospital and you also have the building apparently where all of this occurred. there was one report that authorities shared indicating that this individual may have gone to this location specifically looking for a doctor. we don t know who that doctor is or the doctor s whereabouts at this time, anderson. the police spokesman said the building is being checked and evacuated floor by floor. do we know how long that may take, how many rooms we re talking about? reporter: the authorities didn t give us a time specifically, but they did ask everyone to be patient, because they said it s a very large building and that they did have to go door-to-door in this slow evac evacuation. so, that suggest fls it could take awhile. these are early reports, which, as we know, can often be can often be wrong. joe, is there anything that s known about the condition of the
