i thought it was like an accident. then they ushered us into a house. didn t take much for this city to be already on pins and needles, anything like that relives the tragedy that happened a little more than two weeks ago, the navy yard shootings of september 16. 12 killed in that nightmare. peter was covering that at the time. covering this as well. peter, where are you exactly? right now i m just in the just next to taft memorial park at first and last northwest. on the side of these tree taupes you would see the u.s. capitol rotunda, and at the other end of the block that is split in half by police tape there a handful, maybe half a dozen evidence markers, and then just up the street, maybe 100 feet, there is a severely damaged united states capital police cruiser.
we all kind of moved behind a corner of the building. it s important you hear everybody talking about the heroic work of capitol hill police here now securing the scene. you can see they re looking at evidence markers. none of these officers including those that engaged the suspect are being paid now because of the government shutdown. the security is intense around the capitol and white house. people will ask why didn t they shoot out the tires, why if they didn t know if she was armed, why is she dead tonight? that vehicle, once they start to go through a barricade and try to run over a couple of officers, is a weapon. it becomes the threat. this is the incident, treem they ve had over the the past couple of years. a car chase ended when a u.s.
discussion and all of a sudden we heard what put me in mind of what it sound like when you have the first salvo of a 21-gun absolute. it was ragged firing, so it wasn t all at once, but i want to tell teleyou, seemed like seven or eight shots, and it lasted less than a second. congressman matt cargo write, thank you, sir. i want to flip over peter. he just got on scene. what do you know? attraction i ve been on scene since the lockdown was in effect at the buildings. it was very tense earlier, and we talked to people who are gathering the eye witnesses, start to go tell their stories to whom who just gathered, and authorities took those guys out of the crowd and bring brought them down there, and now there s some evidence markers by where there was a pretty wicked car
distraught. that statement could come as early as today. that would be the first time we heard from the family. i want to come back live again, because martha was talking about the memorial being held around tucson. i want to show you, we have witnessed this makeshift memorial at university medical center, it s grown and grown. you can see there are balloons and candles and flowers and people just keep coming by, a steady stream of people who walk by and they bow their heads and offer their condolences, then drop flowers or candles, it really is, it s been a very moving tribute since this shooting happened, and there is another memorial, a public memorial tonight here in tucson to mourn all of the victims, and we of course will cover that. we also got our first chance to walk through the crime scene. it s amazing because they still have evidence markers out there, they ve got the whole thing pinpointed. we re going to give you a look at that coming up later on.
